DESCRIPTION

This course aims to give the students a clear understanding of how culture influences behavior from a psychological perspective, drawing on the theory and applications from the fields of cultural, intercultural and cross-cultural psychology. Central to the course is the sojourner experience (with specific reference to students abroad) viewed from the psychological perspective. The course aims to equip the students with the necessary tools to reflect on, understand and analyze their personal journey abroad. In addition, core sections on the influence of culture on mental health, intercultural relationships and intergroup relations are included - the theory of each being applied in the local context.
