Examining a selection of the theoretical, empirical, and applied issues in the field of cross-cultural psychology, this course intends to sensitize students to a multicultural approach to psychology and its implications in the study of human behavior.

The course will proceed with a discussion around aspects of human behavior that are universal and those that are culture specific as part of developing an understanding of the basic dimensions of cultural variations and cultural influences on psychological processes.
