The correct statement that is NOT a stated reason why cross-cultural studies of pain can be difficult is C) There appears to be greater inter-group variation than intra-group variation. This statement is incorrect because, in reality, cross-cultural studies often find significant intra-group variation (variation within a group) which complicates the ability to generalize findings across cultures. The difficulty in cross-cultural studies of pain usually stems from the challenges in comparing pain experiences across different cultures due to differences in language, personal history, and the correlational nature of such studies, not from a predominance of inter-group variation over intra-group variation.
