DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nRecent discoveries across science make clear that 
 the way we do research and market it to others incurs bias. This bias is p
 resent prior to\, during and after conducting research. This bias takes on
  myriad forms. I discuss some of this bias in this talk as a method of sel
 f-awareness\, and a step in the direction of correcting it. Therefore\, th
 e talk proceeds with a discussion of bias in general and how this might be
  specific to sociological research and the sociological career. Then I pre
 sent my own research on public preferences for redistribution. I show how 
 some of this bias can be accounted for through open science practices and 
 a multiverse analysis approach. In this particular study\, I propose a the
 ory of government heuristics that impacts the way individuals respond diff
 erently to the same survey questions across countries. Where government af
 fect is more negative\, individuals are less likely to express preferences
  for redistribution that are consistent with their ideals. This helps expl
 ain an observable paradox\, where many individuals say that there is too m
 uch inequality in their society\, but disagree that the government should 
 take redistributive action. I run some tests of this theory using Internat
 ional Social Survey Program Data covering many rich and middle income coun
 tries of the world.
