IB Psychology 4.1.1 Health and Well-being Key Definitions

The mistake of assuming that every individual in a culture follows that culture's norms, when people within any culture vary widely.

The error of applying your own cultural norms and frameworks when studying another culture, treating your own standard as the universal one.

A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease (World Health Organization). Because well-being is partly social, what counts as 'healthy' varies across cultures.
