Abstract

In a world made smaller by information technology and convenient travel, the teaching of a psychology of all people has become increasingly important. However, the content of western psychology, in both research and teaching, has failed to encompass the complexities of culture and the importance of the role of cultural understanding in the modern world. This article presents some of the culture-based challenges facing psychology and teachers of psychology, including ethnocentrism, development of cultural competence, and integration of cultural concepts in teaching. The author concludes that the contributions of psychology to the solution of important world problems depend in part upon broader cultural understanding.
