Afriend majoring in anthropology is critical of psychological research because it often ignores the influence of culture on thoughts and actions. you point out that
a. there is very little evidence that cultural diversity has a significant effect on specific behaviors and attitudes.
b. most researchers assign participants to experimental and control conditions in such a way as to fairly represent the cultural diversity of the population under study.
c. it is impossible for psychologists to control for every possible variable that might influence research participants.
d. even when specific thoughts and actions vary across cultures, as they often do, the underlying processes are much the same.

The correct option is Option D.  Even when specific thoughts and actions vary across cultures, as they often do, the underlying processes are much the same.

Explanation:

There are generally  8 processes that are considered basic to our psychological functioning: a) learning, b) language, c) perception, d) thought, e) attention, f) memory, g) emotion, h) motivation. Whereas a cultural anthropologist would give primacy to nurture, saying that much of our worldview and personality is due to our cultural beliefs, a psychologist generally believes that human nature is universal and that the 8 processes mentioned above function similarly across different cultures.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
