Introduction to Cross-Cultural Psychology
Introduction
Cross cultural psychology and culture are branches or fields of psychology whose main focus is
on human culture and the impact culture has on the thoughts and behaviors’ of people. Culture
may be described as the symbols, behaviors’ and attitudes which are shared by a group of people
and to which can be transferred from one generation to another (Mat,.2013). The culture of
people will affect the thoughts of the people and in turn shape the behaviors’ of people in one
way or the other. Therefore, cultural psychology focuses on the way culture creates an impact on
a person’s mental process and his behaviors within a given culture under study. Cross cultural
psychology aims at making a comparison between two or more cultures in order to determine
how culture impacts on the metal faculty and behaviors of people. Cross cultural psychology is
not limited to study differences between cultures since it goes a step further to discusses the
reasons and similarities between the cultures under study.
According to cultural psychology, human behavior has meaning in from a social cultural
perspective or context depending on the environment or circumstance in which a given behavior
occurs. Therefore such experiences in the life of humans when guided by cultural influence are
actually what create the much diversity in people’s behavior in the universe. Cultural psychology
tries to deduce if people are able to internalize the different aspects of a culture to which they
belong to (Mat13).On the other hand, cross cultural psychology studies group of people which
are well monitored, documented and comparison developed via help of critical thinking. Within
such a research there are relationships between cultural norms and behaviors’ of each particular
group of people. Therefore each and every action is monitored based on the way the behavior is
being impacted upon by the cultural forces which may or may not be the same in the social realm
