This document is a tutorial on cross-cultural psychology from American River College. It discusses the key concepts of individualism vs collectivism, loose vs tight cultures, and differences in communication across cultures. Students are guided through various activities to compare characteristics of these cultural dimensions, such as listing countries that tend to be individualistic or collectivistic, loose or tight. The tutorial emphasizes that these differences do not define individuals and can vary situationally. Its overall aim is to help students understand and appreciate cultural variations in beliefs, values and behaviors.
