An ethnotheory is a theory that underlies the values and practices of a culture and that becomes apparent through analysis and comparison of those practices, although it is not usually apparent to the people within the culture.

Example: If a culture's ethnotheory includes the idea that it's ancestors are reincarnated in newborns, children will not be expected to show respect and will not receive harsh discipline from their caregiver.
