2 PSY4030-Multicultural Psychology SU01 Responses 1. Response to Diane Johnson Hi Diane. I appreciate you for taking the time to post your discussion. I share your insight on the significance of test familiarity and language comprehension while taking standardized tests. Indeed, as Matsumoto & Juang (2022) highlighted, standardized tests can be biased towards the learners or students who are more acquainted with the cultural norms or language they employ. I also concur with you that individuals in high socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to perform better than those in lower socioeconomic status. This can happen because those in higher socioeconomic backgrounds have better access to resources and are unlikely to face any educational challenges. It was important to provide examples from your African- American culture to illustrate how Ebonics can create misunderstanding. Your examples highlight the potential ramifications of misinterpretations and the significance of clear communication. Thank you. References Matsumoto, D., & Juang, L. (2022).

I share your insight on the response to standardized testing and the cultural factors that may impact the process. I agree with you that various biases can exist in standardized tests, such as the use of a language or words that certain cultural groups do not widely use. Matsumoto & Juang (2022) further detail the biases in standardized testing when the learners or students are unfamiliar with the language used to set the assessments. I also concur with you that

3 an individual's socioeconomic status can extensively impact their ability to perform well in standardized tests. Individuals from high socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to perform better in standardized tests as they have access to more reservices needed to prepare for the tests. The personal experience you shared of moving from one cultural context to another was essential in highlighting how miscommunication can occur. Your post discussion was very informative. Thank You.
