Document Summary
Culture exists in the way we think. We have values about the world and environment and the way we process it. Mischel and shoda- conducted a study looking at kids at a camp, the camp was 6 weeks and they gathered 160 hours of observation for each child. They noticed five situations that were apparent to each child. You can see that their behaviour is a bit inconsistent when interacting with an adult. But the most consistent behaviour is when a peer approach them. Maybe it can be because the child is brought up in a different background, they are counterintuitive, Found that when a peer approached them, they behaved aggressively. Then you have another child that behaved aggressive is when the parent warned them. Mishcel states that if then profiles invite questions about person construal of situations, motivations, goals ad expectations. They wanted to know why these behaviour differ.
