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.

Discussion:

an identification of 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 in one of the cultures you discussed in this week’s first Discussion. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

A physical therapist claims that one​ 600-milligram dose of Vitamin C will increase muscular endurance. The table available below shows the numbers of repetitions 1515 males made on a hand dynamometer​ (measures grip​ strength) until the grip strengths in three consecutive trials were​ 50% of their maximum grip strength. At α=0.01 is there enough evidence to support the ​ therapist's claim? Assume the samples are random and​ dependent, and the population is normally distributed.

1)Calculate sd (Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

2)Calculate the test statistic (Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

3)Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
