PSY V30 - MULTICULTURAL PSYCHOLOGY - 3 Units

This course focuses on multicultural issues and their influence
on individual and group behavior. It explores how traditions and
social customs shape the development of the individual’s behavior,
cognition, motivation, emotion, gender roles, personality, and
moral judgments across the lifespan. It examines how family,
work, religion, language, artistic expression, rituals, and clothing
function as symbols of cultural identity. Cross-cultural comparisons
of various psychological phenomena are reviewed, documenting
similarities and differences in human behavior across cultures in
an attempt to search for mediators of these differences. Topics of
