Explain the sociocultural perspective to abnormal behaviour.

Answer»

According to the sociocultural perspective,

  • Abnormal behaviour is learned within a social context. It includes social norms and one’s family, friends, society, etc. 
  • Abnormalities can be attributed to problems in cultural values and belief systems. 
  • Example: A young girl may follow a strict diet, even when it is not good for her health because being slim is associated with attractiveness in her culture.
