  • Universality- belief that some behaviours are the same for all cultures, Universality in behaviour= suggests that behaviour is influenced by our biology rather than our culture.
  • Ethnocentrism- assuming ones culture is superior to others in the way that it interprets behaviour; over emphasising importance of behaviour of researcher's own culture and incorrectly judges other cultures by the standards of its own.
