DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cultural Psychology is the study of how culture influences human thought, feeling, and action, as well as how humans create culture and societies. Interest in Cultural Psychology has expanded dramatically in recent years, and has generated increasingly mature theories, methods, and empirical knowledge bases germane to most areas of Psychology. We propose to augment the specialized training that pre-doctoral students receive in the chosen fields of Psychology with broad exposure to Cultural Psychology. In this application for five years of support, we propose to select three pre-doctoral students per year to participate in a two-year training sequence. Trainees will participate in a year-long core seminar, a journal seminar devoted to contemporary topics in Cultural Psychology, an interdisciplinary course breadth requirement, interactions with leading figures in Cultural Psychology, specialized methodology workshops, and an annual workshop. These different activities will focus on the interplay between culture and basic psychological processes in five areas of research: Cognition and Cognitive Development; Emotion and Socio-emotional Development; Individual Differences, Self, and Personality; Language and Language Development; and Social Interactions, Social Behavior, and Relationships. Trainees will interact extensively with Berkeley faculty who have active, longstanding cross-national research programs, and affiliated faculty with substantial expertise in Cultural Psychology drawn from other Bay Area universities. Close mentoring and monitoring of trainee progress will be maintained throughout. We hope to foster an appreciation and understanding of the theories, methods, and data of the different areas of Cultural Psychology, thus laying the groundwork for better communication among sub-specialties and a more incremental science of culture. Training students in Cultural Psychology also has important social benefits, which derive in part from the implications research in Cultural Psychology has for diverse problems, including: (a) cognitive processes that underpin cultural understanding and misunderstanding; (b) cultural influences on the etiology and expression of physical and mental illness and health; (c) educational policy and practices that concern cultural issues (e.g., bilingualism, academic success, acculturation); (d) relationship discord and satisfaction within and across ethnic groups; and (e) developing a science of Psychology that is concerned with the psychology of individuals of different cultural backgrounds.

描述(申请人提供)：文化心理学是研究文化如何影响人类的思想、情感和行为，以及人类如何创造文化和社会的学科。近年来，人们对文化心理学的兴趣急剧增长，并产生了与大多数心理学领域密切相关的日益成熟的理论、方法和经验知识基础。我们建议加强博士前学生在选定的心理学领域接受的专门培训，并广泛接触文化心理学。在这份为期五年的资助申请中，我们建议每年挑选三名博士前学生参加为期两年的培训序列。学员将参加为期一年的核心研讨会、致力于文化心理学当代主题的期刊研讨会、跨学科课程广度要求、与文化心理学领军人物的互动、专业方法论研讨会和年度研讨会。这些不同的活动将集中在五个研究领域中文化和基本心理过程之间的相互作用：认知和认知发展；情感和社会情感发展；个体差异、自我和个性；语言和语言发展；以及社会互动、社会行为和关系。受训者将与伯克利分校的教师进行广泛的互动，这些教师拥有活跃的、长期的跨国研究项目，以及从旧金山湾区的其他大学获得的在文化心理学方面拥有丰富专业知识的附属教师。将始终密切指导和监测受训人员的进度。我们希望促进对文化心理学不同领域的理论、方法和数据的欣赏和理解，从而为子专业之间更好的沟通和更多增量的文化科学奠定基础。对学生进行文化心理学培训也有重要的社会效益，这在一定程度上源于文化心理学研究对各种问题的影响，包括：(A)形成文化理解和误解的认知过程；(B)文化对身心健康的病因和表现的影响；(C)涉及文化问题的教育政策和做法(如双语、学业成功、文化适应)；(D)族裔内部和群体之间的关系不和谐和满足感；(E)发展一门关注不同文化背景个人心理的心理学科学。
