    Learners must be able to evaluate studies from the Specialist Options in terms of cultural differences.

    The development of psychology means research has often been carried out in Western societies and more specifically, with university students.

    Worksheet 5: Cultural differences asks learners to analyse the origins of each study and its sample to determine whether the findings can be applied outside of the society and culture in which the studies were carried out.

    This worksheet can be adapted for any Specialist Option.

    Use Worksheet 5: Cultural differences answers to lead a class discussion to evaluate the influence of cultural differences and/or bias on the research findings.
