Question

Which statement illustrates value neutrality?

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. In 2003, states like Arkansas adopted laws requiring elementary schools to remove soft drink vending machines from schools

Explanation:

In research, the term "value neutrality" refers to the quality researches should have to be impartial during all the process of researching, which implies the researcher does not provide personal judgments or opinions but only relies on facts and report the findings of the study. A lack of value neutrality can be identified by the use of language that shows the personal perspective of the researches such as "I believe", "it is important", "is not enough", "this should be/change", etc. Considering this, the statement that illustrates value neutrality is "In 2003, states like Arkansas adopted laws requiring elementary schools to remove soft drink vending machines from schools" because this only reports facts or findings but the researcher is not expressing his opinion or position and therefore remains neutral or impartial.
