Which perspective would take into account the region of the world an individual is from?

The social-cultural perspective emphasizes the influence of society and culture on individual behavior and mental processes. It considers how factors such as region, ethnicity, social norms, and cultural expectations shape individuals’ thoughts, feelings, and actions. For instance, a person's upbringing in a specific cultural context can affect their values, communication styles, and even mental health. This perspective recognizes that behaviors cannot be fully understood without considering the societal influences that are unique to various regions and cultures.

In contrast, the behavioral perspective focuses on observable behaviors and the ways those behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment, without delving into cultural or regional influences. The cognitive perspective centers on mental processes such as thinking, memory, and problem-solving and does not primarily account for cultural factors. The psychoanalytic perspective, developed by Freud, examines unconscious motivations and early childhood experiences rather than cultural or geographical context.
