Effects of cultural background can be ambiguous. As Solaiman Elsheikh mentioned it can help the researcher to some extent... but at the same time it can infuse cultural/ethnocentric bias which I see as the number one "enemy" of objectivity. Cultural bias can reside deep in the subconscious and become hard to notice in our judgment.
Cultural, Personal, Social & cognitive background can help the researcher to understand and analyses the topic in the humanistic studies according to the subject of the study and the methods, limits & Hypothesis's. Mundher Alsaaidi منذر السعيدي

Cultural background encompasses the behaviours, values, expectations, attitudes and norms of our research communities. It influences researchers’ work and determines the way that research is conducted and communicated.
Social life, academic achievement and cultural background, as well as the scientific title of a person, have an effective and essential role in the discussion and analysis of scientific and practical results of scientific research
I believe that cultural background has nothing to do with analyzing the results. Let's forget about what a human looks like, notice what he represents.
I think it depends. Our culture will always influence our perception of reality. But I think the manner in which we analyse results depend on our academic surroundings. For example, when I read international studies I always try to contextualise the results in context of our students - and while my own background might influence my bias in reading results - my interpretation of how the results will influence my students are more generalised to a South African context where my classes are at least 80% African attendees. My relationship with industry and preparing our students for industry, and taking into account BEE regulations, allows me to remove myself from the equation and only focus on the variables that are relevant to the situation.
Hello. It depends on a number of elements as I perceive it. First, the researcher's level of objectivity, maturity, research training and skills. Second, the nature of the topic being researched; normally humanities more than sciences allow for such an effect. Third, some external factors such as funding and sponsorship may exert some pressure on the researcher to trap them in such bias.
The origin of the researcher has no contravention, what is important is what he represents, character, commitment to work, how he helps and how he behaves towards other researchers.
I believe that the researcher in material sciences can adhere to neutrality, but in the humanities and social sciences, a person is the son of his environment and therefore whatever he tried to be not neutral he cannot have you sufficiently, given that cultures differ from one country to another then that religions differ from one country to another And traditions differ from one country to another, as all these differences affect the researcher
Firstly, an “ideal case” when such an influence is absent is possible only for an “ideal scientist” in “ideal conditions”. Secondly, such an influence can occur when there is an estimated moment. Therefore, I agree that in humanitarian and social studies the danger of such an impact is higher. A scientist who adheres to a strictly scientific approach is at the same time a living person with all the inherent imperfections.
in the qualitative research, the interpretation of data is certainly culture-congruent significantly affected by his way of thinking and cultural background.
