Cultural psychology studies the ways in which people are affected by the culture they live in.

Cross cultural psychology compares the similarities and differences in behaviour, attitudes, feelings
across different societies or cultures.

For example, cultural psychology might conduct trauma research on the experience of life crises for
people currently living in or leaving Syria or another country that's undergoing some kind of mass
migration.

Cross cultural psychology, for example, might examine the differences in personality traits on a
certain model of personality across cultural cultures.

Cultural Sensitivity: refers to the knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs that enable people to work
well with, respond effectively to, and be supportive of people in cross-cultural settings

Cultural Responsivity: being open to new ideas that may conflict with the ideas, beliefs and values
of your own culture, and being able to see these differences as equal. Being able to see those things
as equal, that is not taking an ethnocentric view where your culture is the correct way. If you are
taking an ethnocentric view, then you cannot be culturally responsive.
