Socio-cultural influences are the ways in which cultural norms, values, language, beliefs, and social practices shape how individuals perceive and interpret the world around them.

Perception is influenced by socio-cultural factors because our environment, upbringing, and societal expectations provide a framework for understanding and interpreting stimuli, often aligning with shared cultural norms and values.

3. How does language influence perception?

Family is often the first agent of socialisation, teaching values, beliefs, and practices that influence how individuals perceive social roles and interactions.
