Describe four problems associated with psychologists' use of race, culture, and ethnicity as suggested by Yee, Fairchild, Weizmann, and Wyatt (1993)
What will be an ideal response?
a. Definitions ignore the fact that there are important differences among people in the same category.
b. Psychologists often assume that there is a link between race, culture, and ethnicity and behavior, even though the link has not been reliably demonstrated.
c. There are often other factors that influence behavior, but race, culture, and ethnicity are more obvious, so researchers focus inappropriately on them.
d. Scientists and professional societies (e.g., in psychology, sociology, biology, and anthropology) have not achieved consensus on the reality of these constructs.
