Cultural and Unique Experiences

Оглавление

Worldview can be formed by a variety of different sources, but many researchers have grouped these formative influences into two general domains: cultural experiences and unique experiences (Treviño, 1996). Culture is an important precursor to how an individual thinks, feels, and acts. As an example, different cultural societies around the world, and domestically within the United States, have been shown to use different thinking styles from one another (Nisbett, 2003). For this reason it follows, as Treviño notes, “that something about culture forms cognition; this something may include culturally transmitted worldviews” (p. 23). Some of these cultural experiences may be related to norms and values within the culture itself. Here, consider several areas in which culture may make a difference on worldview.
