Detailed explanation-2: -Cross-cultural psychology is a branch of psychology that looks at how cultural factors influence human behavior. While many aspects of human thought and behavior are universal, cultural differences can lead to often surprising differences in how people think, feel, and act.

Detailed explanation-3: -The socio-cultural perspective in psychology focuses on how behavior and thought differ from situation to situation and from culture to culture, while the behavioral perspective emphasized observation of how we respond to and learn in different situations.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sociocultural approach looks at how a person’s experiences, influences and culture help shape why they act the way they do. The theory was developed by Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky in the 1930s. Vygotsky claims that there are three cultural tools which children use to inform their cognitive abilities.
