Question:

A weakness of Eysenck?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-Contradictory evidence from Barlon and Holanchack -Found that Hispanic and African-American offenders in a maximum security priosn in New York wre found to be less extraverted than a group of non-offdners when they were split into 6 groups depending on their offending hisotry and nature of their offence -Findings were likely to occure due the systematic racism that coculd be seen in prisons at the time, meaning tha tthses priosners were less likley to be extraverted in order to keep themselves out of trouble -Therefore, Eysenck's study of majority white, British offenders means that there is imposed etic seeing within the study as it is unable to be applied to multiple different samples and cultures.
