Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kenneth Gergen et al. argue that there is a need for culturally sensitive research concerning people's behaviour in areas like birth control and child abuse. This would suggest that there is a need for more understanding of how cultural factors influence behaviour in these areas, and how interventions might be tailored to address these factors. The other options (more research on the unconscious mind, clearer understanding of cognitive processes, and biological studies of human behaviour) are not specifically mentioned as areas of need by Gergen et al. in this context.
