While his fieldnotes were useless, due to his unknowing consumption of a drug-laced yoghurt drink, via his intoxication he gained an invaluable understanding of what it felt like to participate in the celebrations of Holi that was key to him really understanding their significance.

Surprisingly, he found that while didn't remember anything of his experiences in the celebrations of Divali after the fact due to his unknowing consumption of drug-laced alcoholic drinks, nonetheless he had been able to take fieldnotes at the time that were quite detailed and proved very useful in understanding their significance.

He found that his research was negatively impacted by the intoxication resulting from his unknowing consumption of a drug-laced dessert during Dussehra. Under its influence he behaved so foolishly that locals were extremely surprised to see him in such a state and many came to see him in a negative light.

Intoxication resulting from over indulgence in traditional forms of cannabis during Pongal resulted in a near total disaster. He was sick for days and didn't remember anything at all. After nearly having to abandon his research due to health concerns, he vowed to be more careful the next time and later became a model fieldworker.

He was required to stay because the eminent British anthropology Alfred Cort Haddon demanded he complete his research before departing and it took far longer to do so than Malinowski had originally expected.

Because the Kaiser did not like anthropologists, a number of the most famous ones from German-speaking countries were banished to the German colony of Papua New Guinea for the duration of the conflict.

Ethnocentrism  is the idea that one's own group is the center of everything, and all others are scaled and rated with reference to it. Cultural relativism is the notion that one should judge other cultures on their own terms and not in light of your own. They are opposites.

Mead's version of Samoan society was overly circumscribed in no small part because she had failed to understand the chiefs' point of view as she was misled by her young female informants' biases against them

In contrast to Freeman's much larger and more wide-ranging study, Mead's sample size was too small to be representative of Samoan society

Unlike Freeman who studied the contemporary world in all its complexity, Mead practiced salvage anthropology and as a result described  a world that no longer existed and indeed possibly never had. 

Mead's understanding of Samoan society was flawed in no small part because she had been deceived by her informants who were joking with her and didn't realize it
