Sociocultural research focuses on the ways in which social and cultural factors influence human behavior, beliefs, values, and practices. This research area explores how individuals are shaped by their social environments, including family, community, and broader societal influences. Sociocultural research often examines topics such as social identity, cultural norms, power dynamics, and how individuals navigate social relationships and institutions. Researchers in this field may use a variety of methods, such as qualitative interviews, participant observation, and ethnographic studies, to study the complex interactions between individuals and their social and cultural contexts.
