Issues & Debates: Culture BiasCulture can be defined as the values, beliefs and patterns of behaviour shared by a group of people.

Issues & Debates: Evaluating Culture BiasCulturally biased research can have significant real-world effects by, for example, amplifying and validating damaging stereotypes.
