Cultural psychology is a relatively new field that studies the mutual influence between people and their cultures. It challenges the assumption held in general psychology that human behavior is universally driven by innate, biological factors alone. Cultural psychology examines how cultures shape human thinking, beliefs and actions through shared systems of meaning. It also considers how different levels of analysis, from evolutionary influences to visible cultural practices, can provide insights. Some examples discussed are how cultural values like individualism vs. collectivism relate to disease prevalence, the role of religion in enabling large societies to cooperate, and cultural differences found in attribution biases. While still developing rigorous methods, cultural psychology offers an important perspective for understanding human diversity.

13 psych 200 social psychology
This document discusses key concepts in social psychology including attitudes, social perception, social influence, and group behavior. It defines social psychology and explores how attitudes are formed and changed. Factors that shape social perception like attribution theory and biases are addressed. Phenomena like conformity, obedience, deindividuation, and the bystander effect are examined in the context of social influence. Group processes such as social facilitation, decision making, and groupthink are also summarized.
Culture psy ch1
This chapter introduces the concepts of cross-cultural psychology and culture. It discusses how cross-cultural research tests whether psychological theories are universal or specific to certain cultures. Six categories used to define culture are also introduced: descriptive, historical, normative, psychological, structural, and genetic. Factors that influence culture include ecological, social, biological, and group-level factors like nationality, ethnicity, gender, disability and sexual orientation. Several cultural frameworks are also summarized, including Hofstede's cultural dimensions, Schwartz's values model, and Leung and Bond's social axioms.
Ancient history of abnormal psychology
Ancient societies often attributed abnormal behavior to demonic possession or anger from the gods. Exorcisms were a common treatment method. Hippocrates was influential in arguing for natural, biological causes of mental disorders rather than supernatural ones. He categorized disorders into mania, melancholy, and phrenitis and emphasized clinical observation and heredity. Later Greek and Roman physicians and philosophers like Plato and Aristotle further studied abnormal psychology concepts, though their work was sometimes lost to popular superstition.
Psychology of Peace
The Division of Peace Psychology was established within the American Psychological Association in 1990. It aims to encourage research, education, and training on issues of peace, nonviolent conflict resolution, and violence prevention. It also fosters communication among professionals in these areas and applies psychological knowledge to advance peace. The document provides information on causes of conflicts, levels of conflicts, approaches to dealing with conflicts, responses to conflicts, and the nature and types of violence.

Cross cultural psychology 2nd by sheazahmed383@yahoo.com
This document provides an introduction and outline for a course on cross-cultural psychology. It discusses key topics like cross-cultural research methods, and how culture influences development, cognition, perception, language, and social interactions. Cross-cultural psychology aims to identify universal human behaviors as well as how culture shapes thought and behavior. It examines similarities and differences in psychology between cultural groups, and relationships between psychology and socio-cultural factors. The goals are to test psychological theories in different cultures and integrate universal and culture-specific findings into a broadly valid psychology.
Prosocial Behaviour
The aim of this lecture is to introduce and discuss the social psychology of prosocial behaviour and altruism.
Psychological research.pptx
Dr. Urvashi Sharma, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at Sanskriti University, discusses psychological research in her document. She defines research as the systematic investigation of natural phenomena guided by theory and hypotheses. Research aims to describe, predict, explain, and control behavior in an objective manner. Some key goals of psychological research are to describe behaviors, explain why behaviors occur, predict behaviors based on previous research, and control behaviors through suitable interventions. Dr. Sharma provides examples of researching employee safety behaviors to illustrate these goals.
Developmental Psychology G1
The document discusses key concepts in developmental psychology including definitions of development, growth, and maturation. It outlines basic principles like development following an orderly sequence and being influenced by both nature and nurture. Specific prenatal development stages from fertilization to birth are described week by week. Milestones of sensory, motor, emotional, cognitive, and social development from infancy through childhood are also outlined.
Research Methods In Social Psychology
This document discusses different research methods used in psychology, including descriptive research, correlational research, and experiments. Descriptive research provides information but does not test theories. Correlational research examines relationships between variables but cannot determine causation. Experiments are described as the best method for testing theories by manipulating variables and using random assignment, allowing for causal conclusions. The document uses a study on the relationship between "southernness" and aggression as an example to illustrate strengths and weaknesses of different methods.
Social cognition
Social cognition is a branch of social psychology that seeks to understand how people perceive and make sense of social interactions and behaviors. It uses cognitive models to examine how people form impressions of others based on selecting certain information to focus on while ignoring other details, and how these impressions can be influenced by traits, stereotypes, and biases. The document discusses factors like first impressions, central vs peripheral traits, halo effects, implicit personality theories, and strategies for avoiding distorted social perceptions.
Social perception
This document discusses several key concepts in social perception:
1. Nonverbal communication plays an important role in social perception. Facial expressions, eye contact, body language, posture, and touching can all reveal emotional and mental states. Basic emotions are often expressed through specific facial movements.
2. Attribution refers to how people seek to understand the behaviors of others by inferring underlying traits or motives. Correspondent inference theory holds that behaviors perceived as freely chosen and distinctive are more likely to be attributed to internal traits. Kelley's theory examines how attribution is influenced by consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness.
3. Impression formation is the process by which people combine diverse information to form unified impressions of others. Initial
Indigenous,cultural,and cross cultural psychology
This document discusses indigenous, cultural, and cross-cultural psychology by analyzing culture, ecology and cultural adaptation, epistemology, and phenomenology. It describes three approaches to explaining cultural differences - universalist, contextualist, and integrationist. The integrationist approach involves either indigenizing theories from without through external imposition, or from within through an indigenous bottom-up approach. Culture is analyzed using either a derived etic top-down approach or an indigenous bottom-up approach. Ecology and human adaptation to the environment also influence cultural differences. Epistemology and phenomenology vary widely across cultures. The document advocates for indigenous psychologies to develop theories internally and understand phenomena from an insider perspective rather than imposing external frameworks.
Social Psychology: Review
This document provides a summary of the key topics covered in a social psychology lecture, including:
1. An introduction to social psychology and how human behavior is influenced by others.
2. Exploration of the social self and how people develop social identities and play social roles.
3. Examination of social thinking processes like attribution theory, cognitive dissonance, and social comparison.
4. Discussion of prejudices and how stereotypes form despite efforts to reduce them.
Developmental psychology
Developmental psychology covers physical, social, cognitive, and moral development over the lifespan. Nature and nurture both influence who we become. Research methods include cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Physical development encompasses changes from prenatal development and infancy through adulthood and death. Social development involves attachment, parenting styles, and relationships. Cognitive development progresses through Piaget's stages of sensorimotor, preoperational, and concrete operational thought.
Chap 1 life span development
This document provides an overview of lifespan development and introduces Freud and Erikson's theories. It discusses key terms in development, topical areas examined at each life stage, nature vs nurture, and methods used to study development including observation, case studies, correlations, experiments, and longitudinal/cross-sectional research. It also summarizes Freud's psychoanalytic perspective including his structural model of personality with the id, ego, and superego, his theory of psychosexual development, and defense mechanisms used by the ego like repression and rationalization.
The psychoanalytic approach Part-I
Sigmund Freud developed the psychoanalytic approach to personality, which viewed unconscious motivations as influencing behavior. Freud proposed three parts of personality:
1) The id operates on the pleasure principle, seeking instant gratification of needs.
2) The ego acts rationally according to reality, balancing the id's desires.
3) The superego incorporates societal morality and ideals, judging the id and ego.
Freud believed personality is determined by unconscious drives related to basic instincts for life, death, and sexuality. Psychoanalysis examines repressed memories and wishes through techniques like free association.
Social cognition
Social cognition involves how people process, store, and apply social information. It focuses on cognitive processes in social interactions and how we think about other people. Social cognition involves both automatic and effortful processing of information. Schemas and impression formation also play important roles in social cognition by influencing how we organize, interpret, and judge social information and others. The way we think about others greatly impacts how we interact with the world.
Social cognition
Social cognition refers to how people process and respond to social information. It involves interpreting social cues, analyzing social situations, and remembering social information using mental structures called schemas. Schemas help organize our knowledge about social roles, people, and events. When making judgments with limited time and information, people rely on mental shortcuts called heuristics. However, social cognition is not always rational and can involve errors like unrealistic optimism and counterfactual thinking.

Social psychology
Social psychology is the scientific study of how individuals behave and think in social situations and how they interact with and influence others. Some key topics in social psychology include conformity, obedience, attitudes, persuasion, group processes, prejudice, aggression, and interpersonal relationships. Social psychology was introduced in the late 19th century to understand human behavior and phenomena like extreme obedience. It uses scientific methods to study how people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by real or imagined presence of others.
Abnormal Psychology
This document provides an overview of abnormal psychology and the treatment of mental disorders. It defines abnormal psychology as the scientific study of mental disorders, their classification, causes, diagnosis, and treatment. Mental disorders are categorized according to diagnostic manuals like the DSM-IV which classify disorders and describe symptoms. Treatments discussed include psychotherapy, behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, group therapy, biomedical therapies like medication and ECT, and hospitalization.
Cultural Psychology Presentation
The document describes a case study that examined how the strength of Latino/a students' cultural identification influences their perceptions of other minority groups at Wesleyan University. The study primed half of the Latino/a participants about their ethnic identity and measured ethnic identification and out-group perceptions. Preliminary results found that priming increased feelings of solidarity, centrality to identity, and similarity to other Latino/a individuals. It also found priming led to viewing European-Americans as more distinct and had no effect on views of Asian-Americans. Participants were reluctant to rate African-Americans on scales but said they were most similar to their own group.
Cross Cultural Psy Intro
Cross-cultural psychology involves the systematic comparison of psychological variables across cultures to understand how culture influences human behavior. It examines both observable behaviors and covert behaviors like thoughts and beliefs. While some research emphasizes differences in psychological functioning between cultures, reflecting diverse "modes of being", other work stresses common underlying psychological processes shaped by local culture. Definitions and approaches within the field have evolved, with ongoing debates around issues like universalism vs. cultural relativism.

-Introduction to text by Ward, Bochner and Furnham, The Psychology of Culture Shock (Lesson 2)
474 2015 group influences, obedience
The document discusses several classic social psychology experiments that demonstrate how social influences and group settings can powerfully shape human attitudes, opinions, and behaviors - for better or worse. It summarizes Milgram's obedience experiments which shockingly found that over 65% of participants continued administering electric shocks to another person when instructed by an authority figure. It also discusses Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment which was abruptly stopped after students quickly adopted sadistic or depressed roles based on being assigned as guards or prisoners. Both experiments highlight how ordinary people can engage in harmful or abusive behaviors when situated within powerful social and institutional contexts.
Group Influences: Deindividuation
This document discusses the psychological concept of deindividuation in groups. It defines deindividuation as the loss of self-awareness and evaluation apprehension that can occur in group situations, causing people to be more responsive to group norms. Certain circumstances can elicit a state of deindividuation, including large group size, physical anonymity, and arousing/distracting group activities. Deindividuation diminishes self-awareness and self-regulation, making people less restrained and more likely to act impulsively without considering their own values.
Beliefs, Attitude, Behavior
Beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors are interconnected. Beliefs can be manipulated and influence actions, whether positive or negative. One's attitude, whether positive or negative, will shape their behavior and outcomes. Those with positive attitudes will likely achieve more and help others, while negative attitudes can hold one back. Behaviors also influence beliefs and attitudes over time through cognitive dissonance. Overall, one must be conscious of how their beliefs, attitudes, and actions interconnect and potentially impact themselves and the world.
Chapter 3 - Critical thinking
This document discusses critical thinking in cross-cultural psychology. It defines critical thinking as thinking about one's own thinking process, including how and why conclusions are drawn. Specific tools for critical thinking discussed include metathinking, metathoughts, and cognitive biases. Metathinking involves strategies for inquiry and problem solving. Metathoughts are thoughts about one's own thoughts that serve as "antidotes" to counter natural biases. Several cognitive biases are explained such as the fundamental attribution error and availability bias. The importance of distinguishing between correlation and causation is also highlighted.
Helping others
Helping out others in the time of their need helps to build a better world filled with empathetic and compassionate people. People are offering consultancy services as a form of helping others. Accreditation consultants are among such assistance providers. http://www.iao.org/consultants-accreditation/ gives an insight on such assistance.
Chapter 11 – attraction and intimacy(1)
This document discusses factors that lead to friendship and attraction. It addresses proximity and exposure leading to liking, the role of physical attractiveness, similarity versus complementarity, liking those who like us, and relationship rewards. It then defines different types of love, including passionate love and companionate love. Attachment styles, equity, and self-disclosure are presented as enabling close relationships. The document concludes by briefly discussing how relationships can end, such as through divorce, and the detachment process of ending relationships.

Here are some potential fallacies you could commit in your sampling:
- Hasty generalization - Drawing a conclusion about a population based on a small, non-representative sample.
- Sampling bias - Only sampling data that agrees with your hypothesis and ignoring data that contradicts it.
- Leading/loaded question - Asking questions in a way that biases or leads respondents toward answering in a particular way.
- Confirmation bias - Seeking out or assigning more weight to information that confirms your preconceptions, and ignoring or undervaluing information that contradicts them.
- False dichotomy - Presenting sampling options as if they are mutually exclusive when there are actually other alternatives.
Being aware
Helping others
The document discusses factors that influence helping behavior. It states that the bystander effect occurs when people are less likely to help someone in need if other people are present. Researchers have found that people are more likely to help if they notice the emergency, interpret it as such, and feel responsible for helping. Other factors like similarity to the victim, guilt, happiness, and deservingness also impact helping. Reasons for helping include social exchange theory, social responsibility norms, and reciprocity norms. The document concludes by defining social traps as situations where self-interested behavior can harm individuals and society.
Social Self
The document discusses how the social self is shaped through social interactions from a young age. It provides the example of Genie, a girl who was isolated from the age of 13 months until she was rescued at age 13, to show how social interactions are crucial for developing personhood and identity. The social self incorporates the meanings and roles learned through language, family relationships, education, work experiences, and other social and cultural forces.
The Psychology of Attraction
This document summarizes research on factors that influence attraction and relationships. It discusses how both evolution and culture impact perceptions of attractiveness. Proximity, similarity, familiarity, reciprocity, and barriers have been shown to influence attraction. While opposites may attract in some cases, research suggests people are generally attracted to others who are similar. The document provides references and suggests experts and resources for further research on the psychology of attraction.
Mod 6 eyewitness testimony
1. The accuracy of eyewitness testimony can be affected by misleading information like leading questions and post-event discussion.
2. Researcher Elizabeth Loftus has shown how memory can be changed by later information through experiments on factors like leading questions and post-event discussion.
3. One experiment found that post-event discussion between witnesses affected memory and led to inaccurate recall of a crime.

This document discusses attitudes, their formation and measurement. It defines attitudes as evaluative reactions towards something based on beliefs, feelings and intended behavior. Attitudes have four core features - a referent, evaluations, representation in memory, and cognitive/affective components. Beliefs are important in attitude formation. Several techniques are used to measure attitudes including scales, surveys and observational methods. Consistency between attitudes and behaviors depends on factors like attitude accessibility and direct experience. Theories discussed include the Theory of Reasoned Action, Theory of Planned Behavior and Cognitive Dissonance Theory. Attribution theory considers how we determine causes of behaviors.
9e ch 04
This document summarizes key chapters from the 9th edition of the psychology textbook "Psychology" by David G. Myers. The summary covers several chapters that discuss the interplay between nature and nurture in human development. Specifically, it examines how genes, early family experiences, culture, gender roles, and the environment all influence human diversity in traits such as personality, intelligence and behavior. The document emphasizes that most psychological characteristics are influenced by both biological and environmental factors interacting together, rather than being solely determined by either nature or nurture.
Group influence
This document summarizes different aspects of group influence, including social facilitation, social loafing, and deindividuation.
Social facilitation refers to the tendency of people to perform simple tasks better in the presence of others due to increased arousal. However, complex tasks may be hindered by others' presence. Social loafing is when people exert less effort in a group than individually due to decreased accountability. Deindividuation occurs in minimal group situations and can result in disinhibited behavior.
The document reviews several studies that demonstrate these concepts, such as how individuals perform better at simple tasks like bike racing or solving anagrams when with others, but worse at complex tasks like pool shots or problem-solving. It

This document discusses issues in cross-cultural communication and how culture impacts perception and communication. It outlines that culture governs both language/thought and behaviors/activities. Cultural differences present greater obstacles to communication than linguistic differences alone. Culture shapes perceptions in areas like individualism vs collectivism, roles, social hierarchies, values, and thought patterns. These cultural lenses can lead to misunderstandings between people from different cultures unless accounted for in cross-cultural interactions and communication. The document provides taxonomy of potential cultural barriers and differences that can obstruct cross-cultural understanding.

Delusion and mass delusion byam-meerloo
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
Joost Abraham Maurits Meerloo (March 14, 1903 â November 17, 1976) was a Dutch Doctor of Medicine and psychoanalyst.
Born as Abraham Maurits 'Bram' Meerloo in The Hague, Netherlands, he came to United States in 1946, was naturalized in 1950, and resumed Dutch citizenship in 1972. Dr. Meerloo was a practicing psychiatrist for over forty years. He did staff psychiatric work in Holland and worked as a general practitioner until 1942 under Nazi occupation, when he assumed the name Joost to fool the occupying forces and in 1942 fled to England (after barely eluding death at the hands of the Germans). He was chief of the Psychological Department of the Dutch Army-in-Exile in England.
After the war he served as High Commissioner for Welfare in Holland, and was an advisor to UNRRA and SHAEF. An American citizen since 1950, Dr. Meerloo was a member of the faculty at Columbia University and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the New York School of Psychiatry. He was the author of many books, including Rape of the Mind, the classic work on brainwashing, Conversation and Communication, and Hidden Communion.
He was the son of Bernard and Anna (Benjamins) Meerloo. He married Louisa Betty Duits (a physical therapist), May 7, 1948.
Education: University of Leiden, M.D., 1927; University of Utrecht, Ph.D., 1932.
Meerloo specialized in the area of thought control techniques used by totalitarian regimes.
This book has regained prominence because of the Barack H, Obama regime, and the methods that were used to establish it. One can gain many useful insights into Obama's campaign strategy by reading this book.
Sociology of culture
This document provides an overview of sociological perspectives on culture. It defines culture as the knowledge, values, and material objects passed between generations in a society. Culture includes both material objects like cars and books, as well as non-material aspects like human rights and religion. The document outlines five key components of culture: norms, values, symbols, language, and material culture. It also discusses cultural universals, change, and the functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist perspectives on how culture influences society.
Culture and values
The document discusses how culture is expressed through communication and how it has fragmented in modern society. It defines culture as the mental system of individuals and the content of interpersonal communication. Culture is expressed through control, interaction, and expression. However, fragmentation has divided society into various domains, regions, and groups. While traditional close-knit communities have collapsed, individuals are still connected through both real and virtual spaces in modern society.
Dimensionalizing Cultures_ The Hofstede Model in Context.pdf
This document discusses Geert Hofstede's model of six dimensions of national culture:
1) Power Distance 2) Uncertainty Avoidance 3) Individualism vs Collectivism 4) Masculinity vs Femininity
5) Long Term vs Short Term Orientation 6) Indulgence vs Restraint. It describes how Hofstede developed these dimensions through factor analysis of a large IBM employee survey across many countries. The dimensions empirically validated conceptual frameworks from prior researchers on standard issues across cultures. The dimensions are enduring aspects that cultures vary along and that correlate with other cultural measures.
Cognitive biases without borders (Me)
This document summarizes a student paper that assesses how culture influences cognitive biases. It reviews literature on cross-cultural psychology and national cultural dimensions, focusing on individualism/collectivism, power distance, and masculinity/femininity. The paper aims to provide testable propositions on how biases like self-serving bias, fundamental attribution error, anchoring bias, and overconfidence differ across cultures and why, based on relationships between biases and cultural dimensions like individualism. The conclusion is that cognitive biases depend on self-views, which are shaped by one's culture.

Introduction to Sociology what is Sociology.pptx
Sociology is defined as the scientific study of human society and social interactions. It aims to study society in a rigorous and systematic way based on evidence rather than speculation. Sociology provides a unique perspective on social life and interactions by asking us to look beyond common assumptions to fresh understandings. Developing sociological imagination is key, which is the ability to see how individual experiences interact with and influence the larger society.
CAPE SOCIOLOGY UNIT 2 Deviance teachernotes
The document discusses deviance from several sociological perspectives:
1. Functionalist perspective - Deviance can serve positive social functions by affirming norms, clarifying moral boundaries, promoting social unity, and encouraging social change. However, it can also be disruptive.
2. Strain theory perspective - Structural strain occurs when people cannot reach socially admired goals, leading them to turn to deviance.
3. Interactionist perspectives - Labeling theory states deviance is based on social response not just acts. Cultural transmission theory says people learn deviant behaviors through social interaction.
4. Conflict perspective - Norms primarily reflect interests of powerful, who can avoid being labeled deviant, while poor cannot
Interpretive
The document discusses interpretive sociology and the study of culture. It outlines that interpretive sociology focuses on how meaning and interpretation shape social life, as opposed to external observable factors. Culture is a central factor for interpretations, as it involves shared meanings and values. While Weber advocated for value-neutral sociology, he recognized that meaning and cultural systems matter. The study of culture draws from fields like anthropology, literary studies, and history. It treats culture as a system of shared meanings that shape identity and social practices.
Pols1 Powerpoint Fall2008 Intersession Week1
This document provides an overview and introduction to key concepts in political science, including:
- Defining political science and comparing it to sociology
- Explaining theories like elitism, pluralism, and rational choice
- Discussing how information flows from elites to the public and how the media can manipulate messages
- Describing pluralism and how different groups seek to influence policy through coalitions
Interpretevism vs positivism
Khurram Zafar Awan presented on interpretivism theory and its differences from positivism. Interpretivism developed among researchers dissatisfied with positivism's inability to reflect nuances in human interaction. Interpretivists believe research values influence findings and seek meaning in individuals' subjective experiences rather than objective perspectives. Examples provided include Paul Willis's study of working class "lads" using ethnography and Emile Durkheim's positivist study of suicide rates across demographics.
Presentation 2
The document provides an overview of the key topics covered in a psychology lecture, including:
- Early psychologists like Wundt who studied consciousness using introspection.
- William James who believed thinking and other mental processes help humans survive.
- Memory studies by Ebbinghaus and Calkins showing forgetting occurs rapidly at first.
- Cognitive psychology focusing on thinking, perceiving, and other intellectual processes.
- Behaviorism studying how learning from experience shapes behavior.
- Freud believing unconscious motives like sex and aggression influence behavior.
- Neuroscience examining the brain structures underlying psychological processes.
- The sociocultural perspective considering how gender, culture and experiences shape people.
Intercultural Communication
The document discusses several theories of intercultural communication:
1. Gudykunst's anxiety/uncertainty management theory which focuses on reducing anxiety and uncertainty in cross-cultural encounters.
2. Ting-Toomey's face negotiation theory which examines how people from different cultures negotiate issues of respect and social status.
3. Theories that examine how gender, power dynamics, and social marginalization can influence communication styles and the interpretation of language between cultural groups.
MIL PART5mnbkn.,mn,nkjn,mbvjvkjkjblklk.pptx
This document summarizes several key media theories, including effects theories, uses and gratifications theory, and reception theory. Effects theories propose that media have direct effects on audiences, influencing behaviors and attitudes. Uses and gratifications theory suggests that audiences actively use media to fulfill various needs. Reception theory posits that audiences interpret media texts through their own social and cultural lenses, leading to varied readings of the same text. The document provides examples of studies applying reception theory to demonstrate different interpretations of Dallas, Seinfeld, and Madonna across cultures and groups.
Culture.pptx
This document provides an overview of sociological perspectives on culture. It defines culture as the knowledge, values, and material objects passed between generations in a society. The five main components of culture discussed are norms, values, symbols, language, and material culture. Cultural change occurs through discoveries, diffusion, and invention. The document also contrasts ethnocentrism with cultural relativism and discusses functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist perspectives on how culture influences and is influenced by society.
Ideology in the Media
The document discusses key concepts about ideology and how it relates to media. It defines ideology as the set of beliefs or ideas that underpin an institution and influence social relations. Dominant ideologies are those held by ruling or wealthy groups in society and are maintained through hegemony, where the majority accept those values to fit in while minorities stay quiet. The media plays a role in both developing and maintaining dominant ideologies through representations and framing of issues, as well as potentially opposing them by presenting alternatives.
Dimensionalizing cultures the hofstede model in context
This document summarizes Geert Hofstede's model of cultural dimensions and how it was developed based on prior conceptual work. It discusses how earlier researchers proposed dimensions to classify cultures but had weaknesses in clearly defining levels of analysis. Hofstede's model improved on this by focusing only on national cultures and empirically identifying dimensions. It describes some of the dimensions proposed by earlier researchers that influenced Hofstede, such as individualism-collectivism and power distance. Hofstede's study validated three dimensions identified in an earlier review as being consistently identified in studies of national character: relation to authority, conception of self, and ways of dealing with primary dilemmas.
Culture and socialisation: Ties in with the CIE syllabus Unit 2
This document provides an overview of key concepts related to culture and socialization. It discusses:
1) What culture is and how it is learned through socialization. Culture includes shared behaviors, beliefs, and customs that make up a society's way of life.
2) The roles that humans learn in society, which are mostly not instinctual. Humans rely on socialization to learn appropriate behaviors.
3) How socialization occurs through primary socialization with family and secondary socialization at school. Children learn social roles, norms, and how to conform from various socializing agents.
4) The concepts of social order and social control, which work to maintain conformity and stability in a society according to
