Several students have come to me asking for help with an assignment for Steven Heine’s course, Psyc 407 Cultural Psychology. They believe that they are to do a literature review of experiments performed on members of 2 or more cultural groups, where there is an analysis of cultural differences in responses. Administration of questionnaires does not count as” an experiment”.
According to Dr. Heine, the assignment asks them to design their own experiment to be performed on members of 2 or more cultural groups, etc., and there is no requirement for a comprehensive literature review.
If a student does feel compelled to do a review, send them along to me and I’ll show them the workaround. (PsycINFO doesn’t have a limit for this, darn.)
