Which model is used for interviewing families whose cultural influences differ from your own?

Values
Ethnographic Interviewing
Bias
Beliefs

The correct answer is: Ethnographic Interviewing

Ethnographic interviewing is the model used for interviewing families whose cultural influences differ from your own. This approach involves immersing oneself in the culture of the family being interviewed, being respectful of their customs and beliefs, and adapting the interview style to be more in line with their cultural norms. By using ethnographic interviewing, child welfare professionals can better understand the perspectives and needs of families from diverse cultural backgrounds, leading to more effective and sensitive interactions. Option A, "Values," Option C, "Bias," and Option D, "Beliefs," are not the correct answers because while values, biases, and beliefs are all important components to consider in cultural competency, they do not specifically refer to the model used for interviewing families with different cultural influences. Ethnographic interviewing, on the other hand, is a recognized approach specifically designed for this purpose.
