Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that culture in psychology refers to the shared beliefs, values, norms, and practices of a group of people that influence their behaviors and perceptions.
Recognize that behaviors are judged as acceptable or unacceptable based on the cultural context, meaning what is considered appropriate in one culture may differ in another.
Identify that culture provides a framework of shared norms and values which guide individuals on how to behave in social situations, shaping their understanding of acceptable behavior.
Acknowledge that culture does not determine biological instincts but rather influences how those instincts are expressed and regulated through learned social norms.
Conclude that culture plays a crucial role in defining acceptable behaviors by establishing collective standards within a society, rather than behaviors being universally judged or solely biologically determined.
