Humans naturally form social groups and identities. These groups may have common conscious or unconscious values or morals. With this individuals are exposed and may become vulnerable to influencing factors encouraging them to conform or adopt the group values and beliefs. In the helping profession, in order for the counsellor to support the client effectively the counsellor must show and feel acceptance regardless of the issue; even if it contradicts or disagrees with their morals and values. On occasion there are self-awareness unexplored problem areas that the counsellor encounters with a client.
Outline and evaluate cultural influences on gender roles Culture is the rules, aims, customs, morals and child rearing practices that bind together a group of people. There are three main aims of cross cultural research. The first is to explore the relative contribution of nature and nurture to the development of gender. The variability across cultures suggests gender roles is learned through the process of socialisation. It also aims to reduce ethnocentrism meaning the tendency to use our own cultural group as the norm and judge others as deviating from this.
• Consider the population in which you are interested. • What type of sampling plan is needed to select a representative sample? Consider the costs of the different sampling plans. • List the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of sampling plans • Select one of these for the project. Part 3 The Learning Team should focus on questions that will be part of a survey used to research the topic.
Methods of micro sociology include symbolic interactionism, phenomenology and ethnomethodology. However there is opposing argument as macro sociologists think the opposite as although they concentrate on individuals as well they also look at families and other larger groups in society in which an individual is part of. Weber a social action theorist believes people hold meanings about the world and consciously act on the basis of meaning. He saw behaviour in terms of the meanings people action to actions and classified them into four types. Instrumentally rational action is when a goal is not desirable but an induvidual still works out the best way to reach it.

The new environment is considered to be the “in-group”, which makes past environments the “out-group”. This tactic creates and maintains loyalty to the new environment. Group pressure is supported by the reasoning dissonance theory. We do not want to be dissimilar with our own thinking and behaving/behaviors. Difference is strongly undesirable more so within a group.
The difference is that compliance is when someone conforms out loud with the views or behaviour but secretly disagrees. In this situation their personal views on the subject do not change. An example of compliance is not stating your own opinion on a subject, because the majority has stated a different opinion leading you to agree with them. Whereas in internalisation, a person is so persuaded by the argument that their opinions begin to change both publically and privately. People internalise the views of others when they are persuaded/convinced the arguments make sense.
They can value and celebrate differences in others rather than maintain an ethnocentric stance and can demonstrate comfort with differences between themselves and others. They have an awareness of personal and professional limitations that may warrant the referral of a client to another victim service provider or agency that can best meet the clients' needs. Self-awareness also helps in understanding the process of cultural identity formation and helps guard against stereotyping. As one develops the diversity within one’s own group, one can be more open to the diversity within other groups. Cultural competence also requires victim service providers to appreciate how workers need to move from cultural awareness to cultural sensitivity before achieving cultural competence, and to evaluate growth and development throughout these different levels of cultural competence in practice.

How I learn about it c- Example of how
Particularly the second research objective, the deduction of con-sequences for NB, can be investigated when isolating the difference in effects of success factors for PL and NBs. In the present study, this is done by conducting two studies asking the same questions to two different groups: PL brand Balea and NB Nivea users. 4.2. Quality Criteria of quantitative research As postulated in the Critical Rationalism, a critical evaluation of the results and em-ployed methods of research is a fandamental requirement for quantitative research. There are three general quality criteria determining the overall quality of the quantita-tive research: objectivity, reliability and validity.
