Issues and Debates:

Does psychology have ethnocentric biases? 

This film begins by explaining the key concept of social construction and then illustrates three sources of potential ethnocentrism:

  • researcher
  • conceptual and
  • reporting bias.

 

It also stresses the importance of evaluation

  • Is there clear evidence of ethnocentrism?
  • Is ethnocentrism becoming less of an issue in a globalising world?
  • Does ethnocentrism apply in the same way to all branches of psychology?
