Q

Evaluate cultural bias research

A

Ekman - Not all behaviours are affected by cultural bias(some are universal) - e.g. Ekman - facial expressions - takes into cultural relativism whilst also being universal

Culturally biased research can be used to spread hate (e.g. IQ test on different cultures) - African Americans/white americans - counter - use culture specific tests to reduce imposed etic

Modern research refutes individualism/collectivism e.g. USA and Japan - International conferences are held to exchange info between cultures - reduces ethnocentrism and furthers understanding of cultural relativism

Variables researched in studies may not be experienced the same - e.g. personal space
