CLDV800 Cultural Diff: Cross Cultural Issues in Psychology
This course is an analysis of the psychological processes involved with how individuals in groups perceive, judge, remember, reason about, feel, and behave toward people in other groups. The course will develop knowledge, skills, and awareness of sociocultural identities as lived in intersectional ways within proximal and societal contexts. We will examine theory and research to better understand the sociocultural influences on human behavior at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, intragroup, and intergroup levels. The goal is to develop understanding about populations across lines of difference (by race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, disability, among other identities). We will also examine the impact of power, privilege, identity, and bias on individual, interpersonal, community, and intergroup processes.
