A group of researchers would like to study the experience of motherhood for US Latina women. They locate a sample of Latina women and a sample of European American women in order to conduct their research. An important problem with this approach to studying Latina women is that

a. The study cannot be fair because the United States has more European American women than Latina women.
b. The study should have compared US Latina women with Latina women living in Latin America.
c. The comparison-groups framework implies that European American women are normative, and the Latina women are a nonstandard group.
d. The study would have to be longitudinal, which would take too many years to complete.

Question 2

The discussion in Chapter 15 of the multicultural research in psychology of women pointed out that

a. the research on women of color is now just as common as research on educated, middle-class, heterosexual European American individuals.
b. research that is conducted on women of color is likely to compare these women with European American women.
c. research on women of color is actually less common now than it was in the 1970s.
d. the research on women of color examines most of the same topics as research on European American women.
