Cultural diversity and advances in technology differently affect a biopsychologist and a sociocultural psychologist in a way that the origin of race affects the perspective of one thing or how one person approaches a certain kind of thinking. 
Biopsychology analyzes how the brain, neurotransmitters affect our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. Sociocultural psychology describes how individual behaviors are affected by the environment, social and cultural factors. When taking cultural and technological changes into account the explanations differ according to the definitions. Biopsychologist tries to give an explanation with the help of brain-related (fMRI) tests, while sociocultural psychologist runs social tests in accordance with people's behavior.
