How might the emic and etic approaches be reflected in the study of family processes? In the emic approach, the researchers might choose to focus only on middle-class White families, without regard for whether the information obtained in the study can be generalized or is appropriate for ethnic minority groups. In a subsequent study, the researchers may decide to adopt an etic approach by studying not only middle-class White families, but also lower-income White families, Black American families, Spanish American families, and Asian American families. In studying ethnic minority families, the researchers would likely discover that the extended family is more frequently a support system in ethnic minority families than in White American families. If so, the emic approach would reveal a different pattern of family interaction than would the etic approach, documenting that research with middle-class White families cannot always be generalized to all ethnic groups.

谢谢！向有心人请教！我虽然逐字逐句的翻译了，但是还是觉得不太好！不知道自己问题出在哪里？请大家帮助！

着位法和语言法可能是怎样在家庭研究的进程中反映出来的呢？在着位法实施的过程中，研究人员可能要选择集中只在中等阶级的白人家庭。不能把它包含是研究概括的信息或适用于少数人种团体的信息。在接下来的研究中，研究人员会决定采取语言方法，它研究的不仅是中等阶级的白人家庭，更是要较少收入的白人家庭、黑人家庭、西班牙裔的美国家庭和亚裔的美国家庭。在研究少数人中的家庭中，研究人员可能会罚下，扩展的家庭比起美国的白人家庭，更经常是少数人种家庭中的支持系统。如果是这样的花，着位法会比语言法更能解开家庭关系的不同的一面，文件显示中阶白人家庭的研究不能总是概括所有少数种族。

还有我现在也搞不清emic \etic approach 的具体含义！翻译时是按字典的字面意思翻的。请各位指教！
