A research study about gender and group dynamics is being conducted. The researchers are three older Caucasian heterosexual men. The participants are college-aged freshmen at a wealthy mid-western American university.
Address the following in your assignment (300-400 words):

In what ways might the lack of diversity amongst those studied (participants) and those conducting the study (researchers) affect and/or limit the findings in this fictional scenario? Also, how might you address this? Be specific in your answers and make sure to address both researchers and participants for this fictional scenario.
If you discuss information from any source (e.g., book, article, etc.), make sure to cite it appropriately in your paper as an in-text citation.
