Cultural psychology is the study of how culture influences psychological processes. It examines how people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are shaped by their cultural backgrounds, including traditions, values, and social norms. This field emphasizes that psychology cannot be fully understood without considering the cultural context in which individuals live. Researchers in cultural psychology explore various aspects, such as language, belief systems, and social practices, to understand how they affect mental processes. By comparing different cultures, they aim to identify both universal and culture-specific psychological phenomena, highlighting the importance of cultural diversity in shaping human experience.
