Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Reliability involves the consistency of response to an assessment device. It is common to find some slight variation in scores when a test is taken a second time, but if the variation is large, then something is wrong with the test or with the method of scoring it.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: A problem limiting the applicability of cross-cultural personality research is that the majority of studies in personality use American college students as subjects. Much less research has been conducted on personality in African and South American nations than in English-speaking countries, or in many of the countries of Europe and Asia.
