This course situates psychology within a larger cultural context. Students examine how Western culture has shaped the field by influencing psychologists’ theories and research. Approaches in cross-cultural psychology, as in the study of people across ecological settings and sociocultural contexts, are introduced as a means of assessing the universality of psychological theories (i.e. whether such theories can be generalized to all human beings). Students also are exposed to cross-cultural research so that they may better appreciate the effects of culture on psychological processes. Prerequisite: senior standing.
