Question

Jeremy is a psychologist working with a team of archeologists. By working with this team, he hopes to piece together the changes that have occurred in human parenting since the dawn of time. Jeremy is most likely a(n) __________ psychologist.

Answer 1

While there are a few possible answers to this question, an ethnopsychologist seems to be the likely answer.

Several different types of psychologists would be interested in interdisciplinary studies, especially when partnered with Archaeology. This subfield is called Cognitive Archaeology. However, Jeremy seems interested in particular in the way relationships between parents and children have changed over time. The specific subfield that studies how mental states are affected by culture is ethnopsychology.
