| Content | Throughout the world, peoples of differing cultural backgrounds are increasingly coming into contact through travel, business, work, temporary and permanent settlement, and information and communication technologies. What happens as a result of their contacts can vary from mutual learning and appreciation to hostility and overt conflict. This course provides an examination of cultural differences and of individual and group relations within and between culturally diverse societies from psychological perspectives. The course focuses on two equally important issues. First, we will examine how psychology can help to understand and cope with the diversity of our world. Second, we will examine the validity and generalizability of psychological knowledge in a different cultural context. The aim is to facilitate an understanding of the broad cultural similarities and differences that exist across and within societies and organizations. Lecturer Prof. Dr. Saba Safdar, University of Guelph, Canada |
