Question 2

Suppose you have given a personality test to samples of individuals from two different cultural groups. You find that one group scores significantly higher on neuroticism.
 
  How can you determine whether this is a true finding, or whether it reflects a cultural bias in your measurement? A) Ask the individuals if they think the test was biased.
  B) Look at other sources of information about the groups for confirming or disconfirming evidence.
  C) Have the groups retake the test and see if the difference still exists.
  D) Have the groups retake the test after a long period of time and see if the difference still exists.
