Answer:

Option A: Athletic Performance is the only example of a topic that cross-cultural psychologists do NOT research.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross-cultural psychologists are interested in understanding human behavior, our emotions and our mental processes under different cultural systems. This is due to concern that psychology was traditionally tied to Western views in Europe and North America of society and culture and that psychologists may take as universal some dimensions of our mental well being that are actually culturally and socially constructed. As an academic discipline, psychology tends to describe personality characteristics as universals but it was developed largely in North America and Europe. There is likely a lot of cultural variation in the basic constructs and conceptions of self, for example, as well as what is emotionally appropriate behavior.
