What is culture? How does culture influence child rearing, that in turn, influences our ways of thinking and behaving? In this course we will go through the ecocultural model of child development, that explains the influence of culture on child development. Additionally, students will learn about different research methods in cross-cultural psychology. Finally, students will apply their cross-cultural knowledge to solve inter-cultural challenges that might emerge in different contexts, such as care institutions, the university, business and psychotherapy.
