The issues of objectivity and subjectivity in the contemporary knowledge
of the behavioral and the social sciences repment a highly contmemial debate
whose solution has defied all attempts by those who have tackled it with
analysis and discussion. There are presently four causes of bias which afflict
the modern behavioral and social sciences.
1) Numerous studies in this field have explained the social
