Where PSYC-3050 counts
Counts toward 2 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
This course will examine research findings, theory, and methods related to the study of human behaviour and experience as a function of culture. Culture will be interpreted to include ethnicity and social class, but may also include other societal factors that have a similarly broad effect. We will examine the influence of culture on such domains as basic perceptual and cognitive processes, human development and family processes, and issues in social, personality, clinical, and abnormal psychology. Specific methodological and theoretical issues, such as proposals for indigenous theories and methods, will also be considered.
