Cultural Bias Terms

Two key problems if cultural bias occurs are:

• Validity and honesty

• Validity and ethics

• Ethics and honesty

• Dishonesty and evil

Seeing the world from your own cultural perspective is:

• Unacceptable

• Unavoidable

• Ethnocentric

• Racist

Etic constructs assume:

• That some human behaviour can only be applied to certain cultural groups

• That cultural research is all about ethics

• That human behaviour is universal, and findings can be applied to all cultural groups

• That different cultures have different etiquettes

Emic constructs assume:

• That some human behaviour can only be applied to certain cultural groups

• That cultural research is all about ethics

• That human behaviour is universal, and findings can be applied to all cultural groups

• That different cultures have different etiquettes

When we assume that a construct applies to everyone (but really it doesn't), this is..

• Cultural relativism

• Cultural bias

• Imposed etic

• Emic-tastic

Peer review is..

• Pointless

• A way to help address issues of bias in psychology

• Like a popularity contest

• Having research reviewed and validated by others

Cross-cultural psychology is..

• Studying different cultural groups

• An increasingly popular approach to psychology

• One way to get around bias issues

• Pointless

Eurocentrism is..

• Seeing things from a cross-cultural perspective

• A type of currency in Europe

• Seeing things from the perspective of European/Western values

• Only studying people in Europe

After the holidays I feel..

• Refreshed

• Overwhelmed

• Relaxed

• Chipper

The idea that norms and values, as well as ethics and moral standards, can only be meaningful and understood within specific social and cultural contexts is:

• Cultural difference

• Cross-cultural psychology

• Cultural bias

• Cultural relativism
