In order to verify if the results of these studies have intense validity, there has to be an evaluation done on them. This will be accomplished by reviewing the studies, comparing and contrasting their purpose, research questions, sample population, results, and examining the limitations and conclusions of the two articles in order to validate these specific articles. Comparison of Purpose and Position There are two empirical studies to compare that address the relationship between both a transformational leadership and the follower. The two faces of transformational leadership: Empowerment and dependency, (Kark, Shamir, & Chen, 2003); Impact of transformational leadership on follower development performance: A field experiment (Dvir, Eden, Avolio, , & Shamir, 2002).

In cultural psychology the mental processes are compared with the society and the individual who has grown up in that society. Comparatively, cross-cultural psychologists systematically research behavior across cultures in different cultural situations (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). Critical Thinking Critical thinking in cross-cultural psychology is important because cross-cultural psychology is about identifying the similarities and differences in individuals and how they function in his or her culture. Critical thinking is about making realistic, valid and reasonable evidence. Critical thinking is described as maintaining an attitude that is open=minded and doubtful (Shiraev & Levy, 2010).

Through peer pressure our peers influence us by encouraging use to change our attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs in order for us to conform to the group norm. A person who is influenced by peer pressure may not want to actually be a part of the groups or associate with them and as such change their behavior accordingly to the group behavior when around that group. A person may change his or her attitudes and behaviors when around social groups in order to feel accepted even if they don’t particularly believe in the group behaviors.
The interaction of nature versus nurture? The sociocultural and cognitive theories best emphasize individual conscious organization of experience.

If these factors (with the exception of special needs) are not included in the children’s or young person’s environment there may be a negative impact on their individual rate of development and so, the inclusion or exclusion of these factors can influence the rate at which a child develops and acquires skills e.g. lack of social interaction could inhibit (slow the rate of) a child’s communication development opportunities and so the child would be less likely to be at the same stage or milestone as its peers. In conclusion, children’s and young person’s development does follow a sequential pattern however each
This range of problems usually occurs because the client is in a particular place at a given time, unlike that of the developmental perspective. In this perspective the individual may not have done anything to contribute to or cause them to occur, responsibility begins once this problem has occurred and identified as an issue. In examining a client after they have been violently assaulted, there are problems that exist because of the attack. The feelings of anger, fear, shame, and questioning their actions can occur. It is important for these individuals to seek help for the aftermath of the assault in order for them to return to a previously psychological healthy place.
