PSYC 245 Psychology of Culture
3 Credits

This course examines how culture affects behaviours and mental processes. The course starts with an introduction to cultural psychology, followed by a review of research methods. By examining cultural variations in such constructs as development, socialization, the self, personality, relationships, cognition, perception, emotions, morality, religion and health, learners can realize the strong link between culture and psychology. Other topics include how cultures change over time, living in multicultural worlds, and cultural themes relating to organizations, leadership, and justice. Whenever possible, learners will be encouraged to engage in cross-cultural analyses of psychological phenomena through an Indigenous lens.
