Recall that your text defines cross-cultural psychology as “the critical and comparative study of cultural
effects on human psychology” (Shiraev & Levy, 2024, p. 5). Throughout the course, you will be asked to
think critically about your own culture so that you can understand how it differs from other cultures. To make
those comparisons, you need to recognize defining qualities of your own culture. As you begin this
THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT YOUR OWN
CULTURE

examination process, keep in mind the definition of culture: a set of attitudes, behaviors, and symbols shared
by a large group of people (Shiraev & Levy, 2024, p. 9).
For this Assignment, you will identify and analyze your own culture based on concepts covered in Week 1 of
the course.
Important Note: Although you may view your family as having a particular "culture," focus on a larger culture
of which you are a part, such as one connected to your national, regional, racial, ethnic, or religious heritage.
If you are multicultural or have no strong connection to a single culture, you may use a broad category, such
as "American" or "Caribbean."
Review the assigned Learning Resources.
Review the Cultural Awareness interactive activity and the video “How Culture Drives Behaviours” in the
Learning Resources and consider the aspects of culture and diversity, and how culture impacts who you
are.
Reflect back on your initial post and the discussion in this week’s “Warming Up Exercise” as you
considered your cultural identity.
Review the Cultural Influences image above and consider the different dimensions of who you are as an
individual.
Research how experts categorize your culture in terms of traditional vs. nontraditional, power distance,
and individualism vs. collectivism.
Review the Writing Center resources to understand APA style and the overall expectations of scholarly
writing at Walden. Use the “Undergraduate Paper with Advice APA 7” course template for this
Assignment.

Recall that your text defines cross-cultural psychology as “the critical and comparative study of cultural
effects on human psychology” (Shiraev & Levy, 2024, p. 5). Throughout the course, you will be asked to
think critically about your own culture so that you can understand how it differs from other cultures. To make
those comparisons, you need to recognize defining qualities of your own culture. As you begin this
THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT YOUR OWN
CULTURE

examination process, keep in mind the definition of culture: a set of attitudes, behaviors, and symbols shared
by a large group of people (Shiraev & Levy, 2024, p. 9).
For this Assignment, you will identify and analyze your own culture based on concepts covered in Week 1 of
the course.
Important Note: Although you may view your family as having a particular "culture," focus on a larger culture
of which you are a part, such as one connected to your national, regional, racial, ethnic, or religious heritage.
If you are multicultural or have no strong connection to a single culture, you may use a broad category, such
as "American" or "Caribbean."
Review the assigned Learning Resources.
Review the Cultural Awareness interactive activity and the video “How Culture Drives Behaviours” in the
Learning Resources and consider the aspects of culture and diversity, and how culture impacts who you
are.
Reflect back on your initial post and the discussion in this week’s “Warming Up Exercise” as you
considered your cultural identity.
Review the Cultural Influences image above and consider the different dimensions of who you are as an
individual.
Research how experts categorize your culture in terms of traditional vs. nontraditional, power distance,
and individualism vs. collectivism.
Review the Writing Center resources to understand APA style and the overall expectations of scholarly
writing at Walden. Use the “Undergraduate Paper with Advice APA 7” course template for this
Assignment.
