PARA 1

Define ‘culture’ —> the rules, customs, morals and ways of interacting that bind together
members of a society.

Define ‘cultural bias’ —> when members of a particular culture (group of people) make
assumptions based on their own norms and values from their culture.

Traditional psych = founded on western ideas —> culturally biased.

, PARA 2

Define ‘ethnocentrism’ —> when one idea is seen from one cultural prospective, and
that this is correct and anything other than this view is not.

Example in psych = Ainsworth’s ‘The Strange Situation’

Explain what this was —> developed to investigate attachment types.
Researchers assumed that this had the same meaning for infants in different cultures
(the same meaning as American children).

German children —> demonstrated higher insecure-avoidant behaviour.
NOT that German mothers = more insensitive than American ones.
INSTEAD, they value + encourage independent behaviour in their children.
SO children react differently in the Strange Situation.

Problem as psychologists may assume there = actual diff. in attachment in diff. cultures.
NOT the case.
‘Alpha bias’
My lead to stereotyping or prejudice and discrimination against certain cultures.
