How might the emic and etic approaches be reflected in the study of family processes? In the emic approach, the researchers might choose to focus only on middle-class White families, without regard for whether the information obtained in the study can be generalized or is appropriate for ethnic minority groups. In a subsequent study, the researchers may decide to adopt an etic approach by studying not only middle-class White families, but also lower-income White families, Black American families, Spanish American families, and Asian American families. In studying ethnic minority families, the researchers would likely discover that the extended family is more frequently a support system in ethnic minority families than in White American families. If so, the emic approach would reveal a different pattern of family interaction than would the etic approach, documenting that research with middle-class White families cannot always be generalized to all ethnic groups. reflect v.反映，映现 appropriate a.适当的，恰当的 subsequent a.随后的，后来的 pattern n.图案，花样; vt.仿制，裁制 generalize v.概括，归纳，总结 请翻译下列5个句子 1.Baseball reflects Americas history, just as Roslyn Mazer put it. 2.Plain and simple clothes are appropriate for school wear. |
