Assignment 4There are as many human development theories as there are people in
existence. Cross-cultural psychology focuses on the psychological aspects of other cultures.
(Matsumoto, 2001) Some theories explain the cultural impact on human development,
while others are broader and focus on the individual. Some human development theories
view culture as an antecedent or consequence of individual behavior, as well as enabling or
restricting this behavior. For example, the theories of Bronfenbrenner and Vygotsky focus
on the cultural influences of behavior, learning, and social development. Other human
development theories, such as Piaget and Kohlberg’s, focus primarily on the internal
cognitive processes. Consider the similarities and differences of these theoretical
perspectives (Gardiner and Kosmitzki, 2010).Consider how cultural and human
development theories explain the influence of culture on an individual’s behavior and
reflect on how these theories may be used in cross-cultural psychology. Select two
contrasting theoretical approaches to cross-cultural psychology and consider the
similarities and differences between these concepts.With those thoughts in mind: identify
and explain the two theoretical approaches to cross-cultural psychology you selected. Then,
compare two similarities and two differences of those approaches. Finally, provide an
example of how one of these theoretical approaches might explain the influences of culture
on human behavior among one of the following cultures; pop culture, foreign culture, or
high culture. your responses using current literature.3-4 Paragraphs consisting of 5-6

PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-
checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and
you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words
2. and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then
aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to
have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are
preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per
inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing
are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages
than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large
indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning
(space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of
a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must
be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of
each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark
ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
