other fields of psychology focus on how personal relationships impact human behavior; however, they fail to take into account the significant impact that culture may have on human behavior. the malinowskian dictum focuses on the idea that there is a necessity to understand the culture of a society in its own terms instead of the common search for finding universal laws that apply to all human behavior. cross-culture psychologists have used the emic/etic distinction for some time. the emic approach studies behavior from within the culture, and mostly is based on one culture; the etic approach studies behavior from outside the culture system, and is based on many cultures. currently, many psychologists conducting cross-cultural research are said to use what is called a pseudoetic approach. this pseudoetic approach is actually an emic based approach developed in a western culture while being designed to work as an etic approach. irvine and carroll brought an intelligence test to another culture without checking whether the test was measuring what it was intended to measure. this can be considered pseudoetic work because various cultures have their own concepts for intelligence.
