Answer:Sociocultural

Explanation:

Psychologist suggest that an individual person get influenced by the people around them and the culture under which they grow.

The person's development and growth is most likely impacted by the people whom they grow up with or around and the culture that was part of all their lives.

The society way of living will determine how an individual live and will influence the way they live also as they grow up.

Values, customs, cultural practices and beliefs that the person is mostly exposed to as they grow up will usually shape the person or influence the person they become.

Let us take the example of the two groups of children above the first group who grew up listening to elders telling them stories are very likely to seek information and guidance from their elders always and this other group is likely to search from their books when they need to know something.
