• Definition – behavior is viewed by how it relates to age, gender, or culture.
• Example – a child who is acting a particular way based on expectations of the family (parenting styles, cultural expectations), neighborhood (aggression in a dangerous neighborhood), or school (value of education, carrying weapons to protect self), etc.
• Difference – frames psychopathology in reference to a particular culture or subculture; statistical deviance may or may not capture those differences as it generally compares to a larger, possibly more diverse group
