PSYC 2020 Lecture 1 Notes
Introduction
Cross-Cultural Designs
Scientists are often hesitant to publish a new finding or conclusion until they have
studied eough people to deterie that their disoery is reliale.
However, their conclusions are frequently based on participants living at one point in
time within one particular culture or subculture
It is difficult to know whether these conclusions apply to future generations or even to
children currently growing up in other societies or subcultures (Lerner, 1991).
Today, the generalizability of findings across samples and settings has become an
iportat issue, eause ay theorists hae iplied that there are uiersals i
human development
Events and outcomes that all children share as they progress from infancy to adulthood
Cross-cultural studies are those in which participants from different cultural or
subcultural backgrounds are observed, tested, and compared on one or more aspects of
development.
Studies of this kind serve many purposes.
For example, they allow the investigator to determine whether conclusions drawn about
the development of children from one social context (such as middle-class white
children in Canada) also characterize children growing up in other societies or those
from different ethnic or socioeconomic backgrounds within the same society (for
example, Canadian children of Asian ancestry or those from economically disadvantaged
homes).
So the cross-cultural comparison guards against the overgeneralization of research
fidigs ad is the oly ay to deterie hether there are truly uiersals i hua

Souza and her colleagues (Souza, Pinheiro, Denardin, Mattos, & Rohde, 2004) used a
cross-cultural comparison to examine two groups of children and adolescents who had
been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Their conclusions are frequently based on participants living at one point in time within
one particular culture or subculture
It is difficult to know whether these conclusions apply to future generations or even to
children currently growing up in other societies or subcultures (Lerner, 1991).
Today, the generalizability of findings across samples and settings has become an
important issue, because many theorists have implied that there are uiersals i
