Question

psychology as a field has begun to move away from viewing cultural psychology as a distinct area of study, partly because
findings across areas of psychology can differ substantively based on ones culture, so culture is important to consider in all fields of psychology.
it is easy to collect data from participants in different countries.
it has been reclassified as \diversity and inclusion\ psychology.
research indicates that cognitive phenomena are usually the same across different cultures.
question 18 (2.5 points)
dr. monde and her team are hoping to identify patterns related to personality changes and physical health across the lifespan. she has a very large data set collected from many medical organizations. to analyze and explore the data, she will likely use a(n) ______ approach.
big data
data sharing
computational modeling
open science

Explanation:

First Question (Psychology Question)

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Cultural psychology is no longer distinct because culture impacts findings across all psychology fields, so it’s integral to all areas.
• Option 2: Data collection ease across countries doesn’t explain why cultural psychology isn’t distinct.
• Option 3: There’s no reclassification to “diversity and inclusion” psychology.
• Option 4: If cognitive phenomena were same across cultures, cultural psychology would be less relevant, but this contradicts why it’s integrated (so this is incorrect).

So the correct option is the first one.

Dr. Monde has a very large dataset. Let's analyze options:

• Big data: Used for analyzing large, complex datasets to find patterns, which matches her need.
• Data sharing: Involves sharing data, not analyzing it.
• Computational modeling: Focuses on building models, not exploring large datasets for patterns.
• Open science: About transparency in research, not data analysis.

Thus, the big data approach is appropriate.

Answer:

A. findings across areas of psychology can differ substantively based on one's culture, so culture is important to consider in all fields of psychology.
