Cultural Psychology is the explicit, systematic comparison of psychological variables under different cultural conditions in order to specify the processes that mediate the emergence of behavioral differences. Learning cultural psychology abroad, in Austria, presents a unique opportunity for students to experientially learn about the ways different cultures influence the way people live their lives. Students will gain advanced insight into their cultural related experiences by learning about empirical research demonstrating the way culture and the mind are associated with one another.

The Dachau field trip is required for students in this course.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class. The listed ECTS credits are a recommendation by the University of New Orleans Innsbruck Summer School, based on contact hours, anticipated out-of-classroom requirements such as field trips, and projected workload for readings, assignments, and exam preparation.
