Cultural Influences

Cultural influence interacts with other diversity parameters such as race, education, socio-economics and gender, affecting the risk of abuse by the elderly. Moon and Benton (2000) examined the cultural norms of various ethnic groups living in urban areas and found differences in resistance to abuse of potential elderly people. In face-to-face interviews with African Americans, Korean immigrants, and white elderly, white respondents were found to be significantly more tolerant of abuse than African-American and African-American elderly . But among the three groups, the elders of Korea are the most obvious. They are most tolerant of the elder abuse, especially monetary exploitation. This discovery may be the traditional custom of the Korean parents relocating wealth and property to their children as they retire. Compliance with the cultural norms on family duties and practices also suggests that why elderly Koreans are more likely to condemn the victims for elderly abuse than other respondents and attitudes towards participation outside the home It is possible to report to the authorities about abuses of the elderly who are significantly negative and less. In contrast, the reaction of the Korean migrants' definition of a mixed approach to financial abuse is indicative of bias from traditional Korean practice and shows the influence of cultural adaptation to the elder abuse of American society (Lee, Lee, and Eaton, 2012).

The pattern of abuse also depends on the type of community. A survey of older abusers in rural and urban communities showed that rural women were significantly more prone to physical negligence, mental abuse and aggressive caregivers being ignored than urban women . Dimah & Dimah, 2003). The structure and culture of the rural environment will also be inadvertently hidden, thereby promoting abuse and interfering with prevention and treatment. By establishing a close social relationship with emergency response personnel and service providers in the "closely integrated" community in southern Appalachia, the educational level and economic safety of older women victims of violence will be abused Riddell et al. (2009) led a similar conclusion about the rural cultural background of Canada, and presented a strong personal relationship with the community, self-sufficiency culture, family patriarchal view, limited community service, Isolation, and economic stress factors. I hide abuses in search of help and suppress actions seeking help

The difference between cultural influence and individual behavior is that the cultural influence is likely to change. The change is natural, cultural influence does not define our central character but defines only its equipment. And as change and adaptation are natural, apart from ourselves, the more cross-cultural people are, the more we will see things in different ways. Most people who travel or live in different places from their own culture experience minor or complete changes after returning home. The more we observe the behavior that society accepts, the more we accept the premise and start trying. Look for things to do from this different point of view

Intercultural psychology is studying various ways in which culture influences human behavior. It examines similarities and differences between different cultures in their behavior and personality. In the next article, I will describe in detail some important issues about this topic and make them better understand the topics. Culture is expressed as a pattern of various behaviors, styles, customs, reactions, values, customs handed down from generation to generation. It is easy to investigate behavioral habits and other factors, to infer the fact that a group of people belong to a common community and have the same culture. Therefore, culture has been proven to influence human behavior, and the complexity of this situation and the reason it happens. This is the focus of this field of psychology.
