PSYC375 Cross Cultural 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 diversity and cultural identities. We will examine theory and research from social psychology to better understand the sociocultural influences on human behavior at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, intragroup, and intergroup levels. The goal is to develop understanding about multicultural populations and intersectional identities (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 levels.
