a psychologist who looks at how two people from different cultures form the beliefs that influence their behaviors is focusing on which approach to psychology?

Question 3

• Functionalism focuses on how parts of society function, not punishment for behavior.
• Biological approach emphasizes biological factors (genes, brain) for behavior, not punishment.
• Humanistic approach focuses on self - actualization and positive growth, not punishment - based behavior change.
• Behavioral approach uses operant conditioning, where punishment (removing a desired item like a cell phone) is used to decrease a behavior (being late).

• Psychodynamic approach focuses on unconscious processes and early childhood experiences, not cultural influences.
• Cognitive approach focuses on mental processes like thinking and memory, not culture.
• Biological approach focuses on biological factors (brain, genetics) for behavior, not culture.
• Sociocultural approach emphasizes how culture and social context influence beliefs and behaviors, which matches the scenario of people from different cultures.
