- Dietary habits
- Geographic location
- Storytelling practices
-
What does a cross-cultural psychological study compare directly?
- Age brackets
- Identical twins
- Animal species

-
What does a similar recall score across two cultures suggest?

-
Which essential control is needed in cultural colour recognition studies?
- Testing basic vision
- Checking hearing ability
- Assessing reaction time
- Measuring IQ scores
-
What does 'culturally variable' recall of events imply?
- Universal human traits
- Completely random results
- Genetic determination
- Systematic group differences
-
Which task best measures colour recognition across cultures?
- Naming flashcards
- Sorting coloured chips
- Reading colour words
- Drawing shaded shapes
-
What finding supports culture affecting colour recognition?
- Different group sorting

- Higher intelligence quotients
- Identical test scores
-
What is a colour term?

- A visual pigment
- A shade of grey
- A cone receptor
-
Cultural differences in story sequence recall suggest what influence?
- Biological maturation
- Narration style
- Memory deficit
- Visual impairment
-
What is the main source of cultural variation in colour recognition?
- Visual acuity
- Retinal structure
- Language vocabulary
- Lighting conditions
-
What is the best initial step after finding an unexpected result in cross-cultural research?
- Change the theory
- Ignore the data
- Publish immediately
- Replicate the study
-
What is a key limitation of studying cultural variation without a comparison group?
- Excessive data loss
- Too many participants
- No baseline comparison
- High financial cost
-
Why must instructions be carefully translated when testing participants from another culture?
- To prevent misunderstanding
- To standardise accents
- To reduce word count
- To speed up trials
-
What does evidence generally suggest about basic colour vision across different human cultures?
- It is shared
- It lacks rods
- It is absent
- It varies wildly
