In this unit you will examine the relationships between cultural contexts and human behaviour. You will gain understanding of the similarities and differences in behaviour as influenced by various cultures, particularly perspectives of First Nations Peoples. You will learn about key cross-cultural theories, common research methods used in cross-cultural psychology and examine how these are relevant in research and applied settings. In this unit you will learn how to apply your psychological knowledge and skills in a manner that is culturally appropriate and sensitive to the diversity of others.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Unit coordinator reflections.

The current assessment tasks could be adapted to better enable students to understand how theory and evidence in cultural reflexivity and responsiveness can be applied to real-world scenarios.

Assessments will be reviewed to better fit with the unit's pedagogical needs and learning outcomes, and to better reflect real-world situations.

Feedback from Student feedback and unit coordinator reflections.

There were concerns about the clarity of aspects of the assessment instructions and consistency in wording across assessment materials.

The review of assessment tasks will include reviewing the assessment information and marking rubrics to ensure clarity and consistency across all documents.

Feedback from Student feedback.

Some students felt a disconnection between the content of the live sessions and the content of the pre-recorded lectures.

Review the unit schedule, particularly the pre-recorded and live session content, to create a better sense of continuity and flow.
