Question 8 • TX-Psychology

Which of the following statements correctly represents the difference between diffusion and appropriation?

Answer

Diffusion occurs when a group is fully integrated into another culture, and appropriation occurs when a group adopts some beliefs of another culture but remains distinct from other groups.

Diffusion occurs when cultures adopt the customs of other cultures for their own benefit, and appropriation occurs when one aspect of a culture is spread from one society to another.

Diffusion occurs when a group adopts some beliefs of another culture but remains distinct from other groups, and appropriation occurs when a group is fully integrated into another culture.

Diffusion occurs when one aspect of a culture is spread from one society to another, and appropriation occurs when cultures adopt the customs of other cultures for their own benefit.

Explanation

Diffusion is the spread of a cultural trait or aspect from one society to another. Appropriation is when people or groups adopt customs or elements from another culture, often for their own use or benefit. Choice D correctly matches each term with its meaning; the other choices confuse diffusion and appropriation with integration or cultural assimilation.
