a. Even properly trained psychologists can be biased when they interpret their data, and so they must be as careful as possible not to let bias affect their conclusions.
b. Properly trained psychologists are very aware of the possibility of hindsight bias impacting their research, and thus are able to eliminate this problem from their studies.
c. Proper statistical manipulation can offset the effects of any hindsight bias in research, so as long as a psychologist is properly trained in the use of statistics, hindsight bias becomes insignificant.
d. Hindsight bias does not refer to the errors that researchers make. It is a type of error that research participants make.
