Unit 8 – Clinical Psychology
Topic 8.8
Why might a psychologist operating from a sociocultural perspective be particularly interested in investigating eating disorders in different cultural contexts?
To understand how cultural norms and societal pressures influence perceptions of body image, thus contributing to disordered eating patterns.
Given that they assume each culture has distinct types of eating disorders exclusive to them.
As sociocultural perspective indicates that genetics play no role in developing eating disorders.
Because all psychological disorders are directly caused by culture-related factors alone.
