Identify two subpopulations that researcher's pay attention to when conducting culturally competent research. Using these subpopulations, provide two reasons why paying attention to them is important in social science research.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary for the subpopulation (could be age, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, disabilities, religious or political beliefs, etc.). Examples of these subpopulations are important: LGBTQ individuals and minority populations. Studying these two types of groups is important because if the unique issues they face are not accounted for, then any research resulting could not be generalized to the larger diverse population. Studying these two types of groups allows for a special understanding of how structural issues in society influence the reality of individuals in these groups. Asking questions for a homogenous sample may not apply to these subpopulations.
