MVCC Human Development Cultural Interview Traditions Customs & Practices Discussion

Interview a person who is outside of your culture with whom you are relatively unfamiliar and would like to learn more about. You are to read three psychological research articles that illuminate the role of culture or social variables in the life experiences of the interviewee in your chosen cultural group.

1. The paper should focus on providing a detailed history of the traditions, customs, and practices for this particular individual.

2. Identify whether or not the individual’s culture is a traditional or nontraditional culture and provide specific information that supports your argument.

3. The paper should also examine the concepts of power distance, uncertainty orientation, and collectivism/individualism paradigms. When describing these concepts, please provide specific examples from the person you interview.

4. The paper should also examine one other concept either motivation for behavior or the socialization process for that particular individual. As you describe these concepts, make sure you are able to explore these ideas with the person you are interviewing and provide concrete examples that highlight these ideas.
