Understanding the impact of diversity on an individual?s cognitive, physical, and social-emotional developmental processes requires an examination of a multitude of characteristics, including gender, race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, etc. In addition, behavior within a group is important to examine, along with the similarities and differences of behaviors and attitudes across groups. The goal of understanding the impact of diversity is not to determine whether one group is inferior to another, but to gain an appreciation of the breadth and depth of variability in human behavior. Best and Ruther (1994) point out that cross-cultural investigation allows for the testing of theoretical concepts and predictions to examine their generalizability. Another outcome of studying the results of cross-cultural research is that, as a scholar-practitioner, you will be better equipped to empathize with and advocate for those you will be serving (Best & Ruther, 1994).
Consider how diversity influences cognitive, physical, and social-emotional developmental processes. Think about, for instance, what kinds of attitudes and behaviors might be generated from someone who grew up in a collectivist society, which is common in Asian cultures, versus attitudes of someone who grew up in an individualistic society, such as in the U.S.?
