Ethnocentric bias might occur because the researcher's conclusion could be influenced by a belief that the behaviors and attitudes of people from his or her own culture or societal group (in this case, those with higher education) are the most correct or desirable. This bias overlooks the fact that different cultures or groups may have different ways of responding to disasters that are equally valid but not necessarily aligned with the researcher's cultural norms or values.
