- SCLOA
- The influence of other individuals, groups and culture is pervasive
- Smith and Mackie, 2007
- An examination of the individuals' perception of the social situation is central to understanding his or her thoughts, feelings and behaviour
- Humans have evolved as social animals as living in groups has survival value and thus is adaptive
- Although our core motives may be the same (universal), social groups evolve their own cultural norms and values which help to organize our social behaviour
- The need to 'belong' is a potent motive which underpins much of our behaviour in groups
- Our understanding of others and the world is shaped by our culture and experiences and is resistant to change
- The influence of other individuals, groups and culture is pervasive
