Culture and Psychology - answer What is culture?
- Customs, habits, beliefs, and values that shape emotions, behavior, and
life patterns
, - May include language, modes of thinking, and fundamental views of
reality
Enculturation: the process of socialization through which an individual
acquires his native culture, mainly early in life
Acculturation: the process of partially or fully acquiring a new cultural
outlook
- Cross-cultural universals versus specificity: There is evidence for both; --
> traditional emphasis has been on specificity, or how people in different
cultures differ from each other; more recent research focuses on
universals

habits, beliefs, and values that shape emotions, behavior, and life
patterns; can also include language, modes of thinking, and fundamental
views of reality
