SWK 640 CH 6 Reflection Activity
Subject is social work and not psychology. Chapter is uploaded and Use your own words for answers – thank you.
1. Do you think you are ethnocentric? Why or why not?
2. Suppose you visit a country where women must always be veiled and are stoned severely if their ankles are showing and if they are not wearing a veil. Moreover, they are not allowed to vote. If they are caught in adultery, they are put to death in a painful manner. How would you feel about these practices? Does your answer affect whether or not you think you are ethnocentric and how you feel about your possible ethnocentrism or lack thereof?
3. Suppose you are conducting research into existing and emerging gender roles in a society such as the one described in question 2 above. What kinds of issues do you think you might encounter with respect to measurement equivalence and how would you assess those issues?
