The Sociocultural Perspective
Captions available
The idea
The sociocultural perspective explains behavior through culture, social context, and the expectations a group places on its members.
In practice
Whether a student speaks up in class is predicted better by classroom norms than by the student's temperament.
Where people slip
Culture is not a decoration on top of real causes. It is a cause, and it is measured like one.
