Which statement below integrates all the three levels of analysis employed in psychological science?
a. Bilingual children outperform monolingual children in certain cognitive tasks
b. Stress is linked to overeating (obviously, not this one)
c. Both unconscious and conscious processes influence our decisions
d. Cultural factors influence brain responses related to emotional memory
e. Love and hate are related to each other in a complex manner
Answer - Cultural factors influence brain responses related to emotional memory.
This statement integrates all three levels of analysis employed in psychological science. The three levels of analysis in psychological science are: biological, cognitive, and sociocultural.
Biological level of analysis includes the brain and all the physiological/bodily processes.
Cognitive level of analysis includes the functions of the brain and other cognitive processes such as memory, perception, attention, etc.
Sociocultural level of analysis includes all the environmental factors (social and cultural factors) that influence an individual's behavior.
Other options are incorrect because
a. Bilingual children outperform monolingual children in certain cognitive tasks (Only cognitive level of analysis is present in this statement)
b. Stress is linked to overeating (obviously, not this one)
e. Love and hate are related to each other in a complex manner (Love and hate are feelings or emotions.)
c. Conscious processes and unconscious processes both involve cognitive operation and biological processes.
