colleges with cross cultural psychology course in india
Cross-cultural psychology is the study of similarities and differences in behavior among individuals who have developed in different cultures. The search for relationships between cultural context and human behavior is carried out within three general frames of reference. First, culture-comparative psychology carries out studies of individuals in different cultures in a search for systematic relationships between features of cultures and behavioral development and expression in all behavioral domains. It asserts that an important distinction exists between two levels of phenomena: group culture and individual behavior. It is characterized by the use of the comparative method, and it adopts an “etic” approach. It accepts the possibility that psychological universals are present in all populations, while cultural factors shape the differential development and expressions of behavior based on these common underlying processes. Second, cultural psychology has strong links to cultural anthropology (particularly in the field of “culture and personality”) and has focused mainly on social behavior and cognition.Third, indigenous psychology examines the close ties between deep-rooted aspects of cultures (particularly historical, philosophical, and religious beliefs) and behavior. It has arisen mainly in societies that are not part of the Western world. Researchers seek to understand their own people in their own cultural terms rather than through the concepts and methods of a Western psychology
