Abstract
We scientists make the ethic of scientific objectivity a matter to which we frequently refer, reiterate our allegiance, and extoll to groups being professional as especially desirable. In contrast, our social patterns of behavior are obscured rather than analyzed, even though we participate in such interactions continually on a professional level. When these social patterns interfere with scientific objectivity we often show surprise, or we may remark on such cases to one-another, but we seldom attempt to assess them. This paper discusses a model of the forces behind behavior patterns.
