Researchers who are unfamiliar with the cultural and ethnic groups they are studying must take extra precautions to shed any biases they bring with them from their own culture. For example, they must make sure they construct measures that are meaningful for each of the cultural or ethnic minority groups being studied.
In conducting research on culture and ethnic minority issues, investigators distinguish between the emic approach and the etic approach. In the emic approach, the goal is to describe behavior in one culture or ethnic group in terms that are meaningful and wit to the people in that culture or ethnic group, without regard to other cultures or ethnic groups. In the etic approach, the goal is to describe behavior so that generalizations can be made across cultures. If researchers construct a questionnaire in an emic fashion, their concern is only that the questions are meaningful to the particular culture or ethnic group being studied. If, however, the researchers construct a questionnaire in an etic fashion, they want to include questions that reflect concepts familiar to all cultures involved.
How might the emic and etic approaches be reflected in the study of family processes? In the emic approach, the researchers might choose to focus only on middle-class White families, without regard for whether the information obtained in the study can be generalized or is appropriate for ethic minority groups. In a subsequent study the researchers may decide to adopt an etic approach by studying not only middle-class, White families, but also lower-income White families, Black American families, Spanish American families, and Asian American families. In studying in ethic minority families, the researchers would likely discover that the extended family is more frequently a support system in ethnic minority families than in White American families. If so, the emic approach would reveal a different pattern of family interaction than would the etic approach, documenting that research with middle-class White families cannot always be generalized to all ethnic groups.
Which of the following is true of the ethnic minority families in the U S according to the passage?
选项
A、Their cultural patterns are usually more adaptable.
B、Their cultural concepts are difficult to comprehend.
C、They don’t interact with each other so much as White families.
D、They have closer family ties than White families.
答案
D
解析
根据文章第三段第四句“In studying in ethic minority families,the researcherswould likely discover that the extended family is more frequently a support system in ethnicminority families than in White American families.”可知,在研究民族家庭的过程中,研究人员可能会发现,大家庭模式在少数民族家庭中的可能性要比在白人裔美国家庭中的可能性大。换言之,他们的家庭纽带要比白人紧密。据此判断,答案是D。
