Most visitors to Vietnam, when they try dog's meat, say that it "wasn't tasty," "wasn't good," or "it was disgusting." Most Vietnamese, however, consider dog's meat tasty. What does this information suggest to psychologists?

Final answer:

Cultures have different perceptions and attitudes towards certain foods, influenced by cultural beliefs and values.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information suggests that cultures have different perceptions and attitudes towards certain foods, which can be influenced by their cultural beliefs and values. Psychologists would be interested in studying the cultural factors that influence people's taste preferences and how they shape their attitudes towards certain foods. They would also explore the role of socialization in forming these attitudes and the impact of cultural diversity on individuals' perceptions of food.
