Answer to Question 1

Open-mindedness is a commitment to changing one's views if existing evidence suggests that these views are inaccurate. It is important in the field of social psychology because, like other scientific fields, social psychology's theories and evidence for assumptions are always being expanded and refined. Having an open mind and a willingness to change strongly held views is necessary for social psychologists contributing to an ever-expanding body of research.

Answer to Question 2

The multicultural perspective recognizes the potential effect that various social and cultural dimensions, such as age, race, gender, socioeconomic status, and others, may have on behavior. These factors may directly or indirectly influence self-identity, which has a direct effect on social behaviors.
