Introduction
In this course you will learn about how culture influences human behavior and thought. The reading materials will be from different disciplines in Psychology and also from other areas like Anthropology, and Sociology. The topics will tap cultural issues in self, emotion, language, work, society, relationships, and health. We will spend some time discussing the methodological ways in which people have done research to understand cultural phenomena and the limitations.
