Article Synopsis
- - Researchers are examining how ethnic diversity impacts various social and economic factors, but methods for measuring this diversity differ significantly across and within academic disciplines.
- - The review analyzes several measurement methods, highlighting both similarities and differences, especially in how racial and ethnic groups are defined and the geographical context of the analysis.
- - The findings suggest a preference for specific measurement techniques based on the outcome being studied and propose two innovative measures of diversity for future research.
This study explores how researchers' analytical choices affect the reliability of scientific findings. Most discussions of reliability problems in science focus on systematic biases. We broaden the lens to emphasize the idiosyncrasy of conscious and unconscious decisions that researchers make during data analysis.
