Document Summary
Historically, psychology has been a western-dominated science, with somewhat different emphases coming from european, north american researchers. We know that there is tremendous variability within culture, but there"s a lot of cross- country similarity. E. g. all culture speak a language btw 10-70 phonemes, smiling when happy. Cultures provide frameworks for meaning e. g. a college student goes out for a cappuccino. Thirsty, a demonstration she"s quitting her diet, an effort to wake herself up, to hook up. How different meaning systems & social norms affect how people feel, think & behave. How people adapt to transitioning from one culture to another. What happen when people are bi-cultural (asian canadian, with asian influence from family, community, language, and canadian influence from their larger communities, non-asian friends, media, english, etc) Where culture comes from in the first place (very interdisciplinary) Dov cohen different economies and ecologies lead to different cultural adaption.
