Question 10 • 53040de1 ECAD Fall 2026 - Q2 - Psychology - S1

Which of the following is not a way in which psychological research can be culturally biased?

Answer
A
The questions that are asked may only concern issues and interests relevant to one culture.
B
The participants used in the research are representative of several cultural groups.
C
The researcher’s culture can lead to the misinterpretation of the behavior of another culture.
D
The tasks used during the research may be foreign to certain cultural groups.

Explanation

Research may be culturally biased when its questions, interpretations, or tasks reflect only one culture’s assumptions. Using participants who represent several cultural groups helps make the research more inclusive rather than biased. Therefore, “the participants used in the research are representative of several cultural groups” is not a way cultural bias occurs.
