Researcher Bias (RB) occurs when researchers influence the results of anempirical study based on their expectations.RB might be due to the use ofQuestionable Research Practices(QRPs). In research fields like medicine,blinding techniques have been applied to counteract RB. We conducted anexplorative qualitative survey to investigate RB in Software Engineering(SE)experiments, with respect to (i) QRPs potentially leading to RB, (ii)causes behind RB, and (iii) possible actions to counteract including blindingtechniques. Data collection was based on semi-structured interviews. Weinterviewed nine active experts in the empirical SE community. We then analyzedthe transcripts of these interviews through thematic analysis. We found thatsome QRPs are acceptable in certain cases. Also, it appears that the presenceof RB is perceived in SE and, to counteract RB, a number of solutions have beenhighlighted: some are intended for SE researchers and others for the boards ofSE research outlets.
