Cultural Learning and Perception

This chapter explores the impact of cultural learning on mental health and social behavior, particularly during adolescence. It highlights the evolution of social contagion from smaller societies to the digital age, and discusses the implications of cultural context on cognitive perception and moral frameworks. The chapter critiques the bias in psychological research that often overlooks diverse cultural experiences, using global phenomena such as the Mueller-Lyer illusion to illustrate variations in human perception.
