This course is an introduction to cross-cultural psychology, a field of psychology that studies the influence of individuals’ culture on a variety of psychological processes and their understanding of the world in which they live. We will discuss how different aspects of culture (norms, expectations, practices, etc.) play a significant role in understanding of ourselves as well as understanding of others. Topics learned in the course include cultural influence on cognition, perception of reality, interpersonal communication, emotional experience, development of personal and social identity, and understanding mental health issues. In this course, students are expected to develop their cultural competence and global perspective on critical issues.
