The unit introduces students to cultural issues in psychology. We will draw on theoretical frameworks and concepts from cross-cultural and cultural psychology to critically examine psychology's cultural roots and to examine the ways in which culture influences psychological functioning. The role of culture, worldview, and other contextual factors in shaping realities and adaptations to contexts will be considered. In particular, a major aim of the unit will be to explore our own cultural makeup and to promote the development of a psychology that is sensitive to cultural diversity.
