There 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).

For this Discussion, review the definition of culture you developed in your first Discussion as well as those defined throughout this week’s Learning Resources. 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. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.
