It& #39;s really fascinating because when you read this, it& #39;s absolutely clear that he doesn& #39;t even realize he& #39;s biased. His framework seems totally natural and value-free to him, when it& #39;s absolutely clear that it& #39;s neither.

The problem is not that he is consciously biased, I don& #39;t believe that, it& #39;s that he doesn& #39;t even realize how his ideology is shaping his research in a fundamental way. It& #39;s obvious that, were social psychology more ideologically diverse, this would never have been the case.
