PSYC13018 Cross-Cultural Psychology

Course details

The course looks at the development of cross-cultural psychology as a distinctive area of psychology and at recent attempts to devise theories that reflect the cultural, as well as social and developmental, bases of behaviour. The course also deals with a range of research methodologies that may be used by cross-cultural psychologists. Because the interests of cross-cultural psychologists are wide-ranging across the larger discipline, the course will deal selectively with topics such as culture and cognition, culture and learning, culture and language, cross-cultural studies of personality, work, social behaviour and psychopathology to illustrate how cultural factors may influence human behaviour. It is a requirement of enrolment in the course that students have access to the Internet.
