This makes it possible to approach culture social psychologically as a 'priming system'. T hese three theoretical developments in psychology taken together tie in with important new developments in culture theory. Finally, I would like to discuss the research consequences of the above attempt to bring psychology and culture together in one theoretical frame. T his paper intends to contribute to the development of a model for the relation between behavior and culture. Also Hofstede's model, a triangle with a broad baseline for the nature component and thereupon a smaller area for collective mental programs, with at its top a tiny peak for individual mental programming.
Humans are social products.
I think it necessary to add to their cycle as a starting point the human body. T hese universal options lead to a combinatorial explosion of possibilities. Not only directly, by violence for example, but also indirectly by extorting some of the possible options at the expense of other bodily possibilities. T his paper explains the importance of activity for cultural psychology. It argues that cultural psychological phenomena are rooted in practical, socially organized activities such as work, politics, education, religion, leisure.
