Question 9

An English researcher wrote a questionnaire intended to measure social maturity in 15-year-olds. It awarded higher scores when a teenager made weekend plans and everyday decisions without consulting relatives. The translated questionnaire was completed by teenagers in five countries. The researcher concluded that groups with lower scores were less socially mature.

Explain how cultural bias may limit this conclusion.
