PSY 295-01 - Special Topic: Cross-Cultural Psychology

4 credits (Fall)

Psychological findings are often presented as if they are universal. In this course we will interrogate theories and processes in cognition, perception, development, and mental health from a cross-cultural perspective. We will focus on examining universality and difference across groups and on the interactions between psychology subfields (e.g., the influence of language on cognition). Students will be evaluated on discussion, written reflections, and exams.
