Overview:Virtually all human outcomes, abilities, and behaviors reflect a complex interaction of nature (biological factors) and nurture (social-environmental factors). For example, many psychological processes that were once assumed to be basic and uniform across all humans were later found to differ across cultures, suggesting that the unique environmentsin which people are raised can shape the emergence of basic biological processes.Your job in this paper is to locate and evaluate an original empirical or theoretical article that describes a cross-cultural difference in some psychological process.For your convenience, we provide several articles that you may use(see below). However, you are welcome to find an article on your own if you prefer.You might find the EBSCO PsycInfo database useful if you choose to locate your own article. If you need assistance using PsycInfo, please visit your Instructor or TA during his/her office hours, or consult with a Reference Librarian at the USF Library(http://www.lib.usf.edu/).______________________________________________________________________________SUGGESTED ARTICLES:Kitayama, S. &Park, J.
