According to universal developmental theory, individuals of different cultural backgrounds follow

  1. Similar developmental patterns

  2. The same sequence of development

  3. Parallel development

  4. Diverse developmental patterns

The correct answer is: Similar developmental patterns

Individuals from different cultural backgrounds have diverse developmental patterns, not the same. They may have different experiences, beliefs, and practices that influence their developmental process, causing parallel instead of similar or the same patterns. Their unique cultural contexts play a significant role in shaping their development. Therefore, the idea of universal developmental theory suggests that despite these differences, individuals from all cultures follow similar developmental patterns, showing that environmental and genetic factors have a significant impact on development. Choice D, diverse developmental patterns, is incorrect because it goes against the concept of universal developmental theory.
