Explanation​:
Choice A explains assimilation accurately, as defined in Berry's Acculturation Model.

Choices B, C, and D explain separation, marginalization, and integration, respectively.

Explanation​:

The cultural dimensions assume that all people within a country share the same values. In fact, there is a great deal of variation within a culture; on average, British and American cultures may be more individualistic than the Japanese collectivist culture. However, there may be some Americans who are more collective in their outlook, and there may be some Japanese who are more individualistic.

Explanation​:
Studies on culture and interpersonal relationships often rely on self-reporting questionnaires as $\text{‘}$happiness', $\text{‘}$cultural norms' and $\text{‘}$satisfaction' is subjective and cannot be accurately measured by a third party. It may also be that members of collectivistic cultures are less likely to share negative feelings regarding their marriage/relationships because of the fear of society.

Explanation​:

When people can/do unconsciously change their behaviour, causing the schema to become true, it is known as a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A & B are ways in which stereotypes are formed in people. In contrast, D is an effect of stereotypes.

Explanation​:

The OCEAN model stands for openness, conscientiousness - extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism.

The model was developed by MCrae and John in 1992 with a purpose to measure and compare personalities.

Explanation​:
Arousal refers to the state of being physiologically alert or aware. Arousal is a biological factor that may play a role in the other cognitive factors listed – such as attention. However, it is not a cognitive factor on its own.

A, C, and D are cognitive factors that increase the likelihood that someone will learn from a model.

Explanation​:
Stereotypes are often characterized as negative, but they can be positive as well. While stereotypes can be passed down within groups as a part of adopting the norms of that group, they are not considered values. Instead, stereotypes are better thought of as beliefs.

Explanation​:

The gatekeeper theory is a psychology and communication theory related to who controls access to information and ideas in a social group. It is a group of people who decide/control what information has to be shared with the people.

Option A explains comparative studies, option B focuses on cultural transmission, and option C defines culture.

Explanation​:
Choices A, B, and C each outline a different dimension than the one stated.

Choice A outlines power distance index.
Choice B outlines long-term vs short-term orientation.
Choice C outlines indulgence vs restraint.
Choice D is the only correct pairing.

The missing strategy is assimilation, which involves creating a positive relationship with the new culture, but failing to maintain a connection with the original culture.

Explanation​:
Illusory correlations are a cognitive bias, in which we tend to see relationships when they do not exist. We may create stereotypes when we see relationships between groups and traits that we hear other people discuss, see on the news, and so on.

Answer choice B is the grain of truth hypothesis. This theory of stereotype formation requires direct experience with a member of a group that serves as a basis for the stereotype.

Answer choice C describes confirmation bias, and choice D describes out-group homogeneity.

Explanation​:
Enculturation takes place whether or not caregivers or parents being enculturated are explicitly aware of exactly what they are enculturating. For example, in Fagot (1978), parents believed that they were demonstrating gender-neutral behaviors with children during play, but researchers observed that there were differences in what behaviors were praised and discouraged according to the child’s gender.

Enculturation describes acquiring the norms and values of a first or primary culture (answer choices B and C). Acculturation is the term that describes adapting to additional, new cultural environments.

Enculturation can occur through models in media, or through direct instruction in settings like school. This means answer choice D also describes enculturation.

Explanation​:
Answer choice A involves long-term orientation, a cultural dimension. This answer relates a feature of culture to its effect on behavior and outlines the findings of Chen et al. (2005).

Choice B mentions an in-group, which is not synonymous with a cultural group. This outlines the findings of Abrams et al. (1990), a study on Social Identity Theory.

Choice C outlines how confirmation bias is related to the effect of stereotypes.

Choice D outlines one finding of Bandura (1961) and does not present an effect of culture on behavior.

Explanation​:
The concept of culture involves norms, values, attitudes, and beliefs that are common (answer choice A). This is called deep culture, which one could only infer after observing surface culture behaviors (answer choice D).

Answer choice B and C contradict each other. Nearly all definitions of culture describe the ability of cultures to change in response to environmental shifts, such as globalization. This means answer choice C is the only option that does not accurately describe culture.

Explanation​:
Answer choice D is correct. Social Identity Theory focuses on how individuals derive identities and self-esteem from the groups they belong to. It does not attempt to describe personal identity formation (option B) or inter- or intra-group dynamics (option C).

Answer choice A describes Social Cognitive Theory.

Explanation​:

The recent personal experience increases the accessibility of a schema due to recent events. This results in priming, which helps in remembering older memories/experiences.

For example, when someone talks about a particular social group/thing/experience, it will likely increase your accessibility to your schema about similar things.

Explanation​:

Hofstede conducted his research by mailing an extensive survey about workplace values to 117,000 IBM employees in 50 countries. Hofstede carried out his research using a questionnaire called the Values Survey Module. From the results, he created his cultural dimensions, which reflect the national cultural characteristics of a country.

Explanation​:

Vertical collectivism is when group members merge with the ingroup and submit to an authority in that ingroup.

Option A focuses on social identity theory, C is horizontal individualism and D is horizontal collectivism.

Explanation​:

The idea that people only learn through reinforcement is not an assumption of the sociocultural approach.

Options A, B and C represent the assumptions of the sociocultural approach.

Explanation​:

Chen found that participants primed with stimuli related to the American culture, were more likely to pay extra for the immediate shipping, while those primed with Singaporean culture were more likely to opt for the free shipping. Thus meaning, B is the correct statement.

Explanation​:
Choice A outlines acculturation, and choice B outlines Social Cognitive Theory. Enculturation is not a model itself, and it is not accurate to suggest that the end result is $\text{‘}$similarity$\text{’}$ to parents. This leaves choice B, which does accurately outline enculturation.

Explanation​:
Ecological fallacies are made when we take data gathered on a group and assume that each individual must embody those traits equally (choice A). For example, we would be committing an ecological fallacy if we assume that because someone is American, they must be highly individualistic.

While stereotypes do assume groups are homogenous and generalize traits, stereotypes do not need to be based on any empirical data at all (choice C)

Choice B explains population validity, and choice D explains ecological validity.

Explanation​:
Cultural dimensions allow us to describe and discuss differences across cultures (choice C). Because cultural dimensions were created by surveying workplaces in each country, a country’s scores represent the dominant professional culture and do not represent differences within that culture (choice B). Cultural dimensions may shift due to environmental changes, but a cultural dimension score does not give us any information about how it may have changed over time (choice D).

Choice A needs to be more specific to describe cultural dimensions comprehensively.

Explanation​:
Protective factors reduce acculturative stress. Sharing similar values with family members can promote greater support and unity within the household (choice A), and sufficient income also reduces stress (choice C).

Bilingualism is considered a protective factor as it widens the social support network available to individuals (choice B).

A strong preference for only speaking English predicts high acculturative stress, as language preferences may also reveal the extent to which individuals may want to limit their relationship with their primary culture. The lowest levels of acculturative stress tend to occur for individuals who integrate, i.e., those who maintain positive relationships with both cultures.
