Question 4 • Psychology A

Because much of the research in psychology was done by males on males, an argument can be made that psychology is __________.

Answer
A
racist
B
sexist
C
ageist
D
ethnocentric

Explanation

If much of psychology’s research was conducted by men and focused on men, its findings may not represent women’s experiences equally. That kind of gender-based bias is described as sexist. “Ethnocentric” concerns judging other cultures by the standards of one’s own culture, so it does not fit here.
