Abstract: Research suggests that effect sizes are larger when program developers conduct studies compared to independent researchers. This is sometimes attributed to biases linked to conflicts of interest (CoI). While potential financial CoI is often acknowledged, non-financial CoI is more subtle, rarely reported and just as likely to lead to biased results.
