Answer to Question 1

Answer:
Answers should include the following points:
1) The demographic make-up of the United States (and of other countries) has changed substantially over the past few decades.
2) Historically, social psychologists have assumed that results obtained from one cultural group would be equally applicable to other cultural groups.
3) Because of the changing demographics of the United States, social psychologists have come to understand that cultural differences may have a larger impact on people than was previously believed.
4) Culture, ethnicity, and race play a key role in forming and maintaining self-identity.
5) Therefore, such differences are increasingly being considered in social psychology as another factor that influences social cognitions and behaviors.
6) The overall effect has been to encourage the acceptance of a multicultural perspective, which broadens the focus of social psychology.

Answer to Question 2

Informed consent exists when participants are given as much information as possible about the procedures to be followed in an experiment before they agree to participate.
