The Sociocultural perspective emphasizes the impact of culture, norms, and social institutions on human behavior and attitudes. This perspective best highlights the influence of the immediate environment, such as the teacher's behavior, as well as the broader cultural context, including societal norms about race and prejudice, on shaping the children's attitudes and behaviors. Both factors work together to shape and reinforce prejudice in the children.
