With the participation of 16 teachers across disciplines and 300+ students, we demonstrated the positive impact that a due emphasis on the affective aspect of learning (especially evocation of positive and sympathetic emotions) has on students' development of intercultural competence (both knowledge and attitudes).

Visualizing Within- and Between-Culture Diversity

How do you hold in your mind the (seeming) contradiction that yes, there are important cultural differences-- but, it doesn't mean that it applies to every topic, or every person? Cultural psychologists will illustrate and emphasize interesting cultural differences with bar graphs, but we sure hope you don't misunderstand them. Let's take a look at why cultural differences shouldn't make you stereotype individuals: What it means when we say that "Within-culture differences are (almost always) bigger than between-culture differences."
