Psychology and Culture

Students examine how cultural values shape socialization practices and how this in turn impacts the development of self and personality. Students begin by tracing the origins of culture and exploring factors that influence its spread. Students then examine how culture influences numerous psychological characteristics, including perception, thinking, intelligence, motivation, emotion, well-being, and mental health.
