''Enculturation'' is the process by which people learn values and behaviors that are appropriate or necessary in their surrounding [[culture]].<ref name="GrusecHastings">Grusec, Joan E.; Hastings, Paul D.

Multiple examples of enculturation can be found cross-culturally. Collaborative practices in the Mazahua people have shown that participation in everyday interaction and later learning activities contributed to enculturation rooted in nonverbal social experience.<ref name="Paradise1994">{{cite journal|last1=Paradise|first1=Ruth|title=Interactional Style and Nonverbal Meaning: Mazahua Children Learning How to Be Separate-But-Together|journal=Anthropology & Education Quarterly|date=1994|doi=10.1525/aeq.1994.25.2.05x0907w|volume=25|issue=2|pages=156–172|s2cid=146505048 }}</ref> As the children participated in everyday activities, they learned the cultural significance of these interactions.
