The question of national culture’s influence on human psychology is rather debatable today. Is there causation? What kind of mechanism is there? How human’s behavior and thought are determined by national culture? In each culture, people in their own way see and organize the world around them in their minds. These differences are explained by culturally determined experiences. Modern researchers recognize the influence of cultural practices, the axiological experience of society on the course of cognitive processes, the formation of emotional behavior and certain skills of representatives of the corresponding society. There is no doubt that there is a universal potential that assumes properties of the nervous system that are common to all people, but cultural practices, differences in values, and everyday activities form their own style of thinking and behavior. Activities, behavior are determined by the value orientations of culture, ideas about the ego. Historical and cultural experience, the process of adaptation and adaptation contribute to the development of certain, the most appropriate behavioral strategies, the formation of skills determined by this context, the formation of a psychological type of personality that possesses the necessary character traits for the most comfortable existence. The study of cognition and cognitive processes in different cultures is extremely instructive, as it provides information on how the environment and other sociocultural factors contribute to the formation and transformation of a person's ability to process information, think and act in this world. We can talk about the fact of the formation of a number of universal human abilities, the course of cognitive processes, the formation of the psychological type of personality and types of behavior in a social context, in the process of culturally mediated practical activity of members of a given society. The behavior, thinking, emotional side of the personality bears the imprint of the sociocultural environment in which it took place. Cultural factors prescribe what and at what age should be learned, therefore, different types of cultural environment lead to the formation of various abilities. Culture is a means of socialization, the formation of identity and individuality of an individual. The manifestation of the national culture in the psyche and human behavior is a fact of the regulatory and regulatory impact of the cultural value orientations: the peculiarities of the national character are determined by the values of the national culture.
