• Cultural Psychology

  • Several subfields within psychology seek to examine these sociocultural factors that influence human mental states and behavior; among these are social psychology (discussed in another section), cultural psychology, and cultural-historical psychology.

• Defining Psychology

• Influences of Culture and Gender in Psychotherapy

  • Biological influences act on the physical body, while sociocultural influences shape the mind and behavior of an individual.

• The Biopsychosocial Model of Health and Illness

  • The biopsychosocial model argues that any one factor is not sufficient; it is the interplay between people's genetic makeup (biology), mental health and behavior (psychology), and sociocultural environment (social world) that determine the course of their health-related outcomes.
  • Health promotion must address all three factors, as a growing body of empirical literature suggests that it is the combination of health status, perceptions of health, and sociocultural barriers to accessing health care that influence the likelihood of a patient engaging in health-promoting behaviors, like taking medication, proper diet or nutrition, and engaging in physical activity.

• Human Sexuality and Culture

  • Sexuality is also separate from gender identity, which is a person's sense of their own gender, or sociocultural classification (i.e., man, woman, or another gender) based on biological sex (i.e., male or female).
  • These manifest themselves not only in biological, physical, and emotional ways, but also in sociocultural ways, which have to do with the effects of human society and culture on one's sexuality.
