- Objective of the course
In this class, we will study the interaction between culture and psychology. This course will explore how we can better understand human behavior, thought, and feeling by taking into account the role of culture, a perspective gaining popularity in the 21st century. We will look at various topics currently under discussion in this field, as well as methodologies to analyse psychological matters in relation to culture.
- Goal
Students are expected to be able to evaluate basic issues discussed in cultural psychology, and gain knowledge on research methods, and to apply skills and knowledge to various phenomena in the daily life.
