Cross-cultural research on self-recognition in mirrors suggests that the mirror test is

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In cross-cultural research on self-recognition with mirrors, researchers examine how reliably the mirror test measures self-awareness across diverse cultures. 
Option A: 'also a test of self-esteem in select cultures.' This misframes the mirror test entirely; it is designed to probe self-recognition and self-awareness, not self-esteem directly. While cultural factors can influence responses to any test, labeling the mirror test as a test of self-esteem is inaccurate.
Option B: 'probably not a reliable and universal measure of self-awareness.' This aligns with findings that mirror self-recognition can vary across cultures and developmental contexts, suggesting limited universality and reliability as a sole index of self-awareness.
Option C: 'only applicable in English-speaking populations.' There is no basis for limiting the test to English speakers; the test uses a red mark on the face and mirror behavior, which can be applied cross-culturally, though interpretations may differ. This option overstates language constraints and is incorrect.
Option D: 'only applicable in Western societies.' Similar to C, this is an overgeneralization that ignores cross-cultural studies showing variability and debates about universality; hence this claim is not supported.
Option E: 'only relevant in collectivistic cultures when parents are present.' This is inaccurate, as the mirror test concerns the child’s self-recognition independent of parental presence, and its relevance is not confined to the collectivism spectrum or parental presence.
Overall, the most defensible position given cross-cultural data is that the mirror test is not a universally reliable measure of self-awareness across cultures, which is captured by option B.
