*Sociocultural is studying the influence of cultural and ethnic similarities and differences on behavior and social functioning. Sociocultural psychologists also study the impact and integration of the millions of immigrants who come to the U.S. each year. • *Ethnicity, gender, culture, and socioeconomic status influence our behavior. • *Two Sociocultural Psychologists: • - Leonard Doob illustrated the cultural implications of a simple, reflexive behavior, a sneeze. Questioning what the person would do if they had to urge to sneeze. What they would say or others around would say. • - Lev Vygotsky suggests that social interaction leads to continuous step-by-step changes in children’s thought and behavior that can vary greatly from culture to culture. He argues that a child’s development cannot be understood by a study of the individual. We must also examine the external social world in which that individual life has developed.
