PSYC 206 - Cultural Psychology (4)

Cultural psychology is the study of social-psychological processes in an evolving cultural context. Topics include cross-cultural communications, social influence, discrimination, prejudice, and group dynamics. Emphasis will be placed on the application of knowledge to real-world problems in communication, health, and wellness. Learning will be assessed via quizzes, group projects, thought papers, and classroom activities. Students will also be asked to reflect upon the role of culture in their own lives to prepare for future cultural interactions. Prerequisite: PSYC 100. Fall.
