these stereotypes can lead to prejudice and discrimination
conducting socially sensitive research can help reduce prejudice against certain groups or issues in society
perpetuate harmful stereotypes that negatively impact certain social groups
however, until research is conducted, may not be possible to predict the findings will help address misconceptions and decrease prejudice and discrimination or if research could be used to exacerbate any existing prejudices
direct impact on social policy and practices
cognitive interviewing technique can lead to improved EW recall
