Module Code 單元編號 PSY4028 Module Title 單元名稱 MULTICULTURAL MINDS IN COMMUNICATION Module Synopsis 單元概要 In a multicultural society and world, workplaces are increasingly composed of people from measurably different backgrounds, making the ability to communicate across cultural differences a vital skill. With this need in mind, this course will aim to increase students’ cultural intelligence. Cultural intelligence is what allows people to successfully perceive and navigate cultural differences, whether they be sourced in national culture, gender, religion, socio-economic levels, or other background differences. This course will focus on developing a combination of knowing about cultural differences; being aware of that knowledge as individuals interact with others; being motivated to interact with people from different cultures; and being able to modify their behavior appropriately for the particular cultural situation. This course will introduce relevant theoretical knowledge as well as practice skills to increase students’ success with interacting with people from other cultural backgrounds. With a particular focus on how psychology informs our ability to work in a diverse organization.
