Can stereotypes lower your test scores?
Do people from different cultures reason differently about social
and moral issues?
Are men more narcissistic than women?
The field of psychology is often concerned with understanding "laws"
of human behavior. As such, knowledge about how we become who we are
or do the things we do is often described in terms of the "average
person." Just how "average" are people from different cultures, ethnic
backgrounds, genders, sexual orientation, or age groups? At the University
of Utah, we think this is a critical question essential to research
and training. The psychology department has a strong track record
of recognizing the importance of diversity among people in the study
of human behavior. This recognition is reflected in the make-up of
the faculty, in their research interests, and in the curriculum. A
number of faculty have formal joint appointments with the Ethnic Studies
and Women Studies programs, with others serving as affiliated faculty.
The psychology department's efforts and commitment toward promoting
diversity was formally recognized within the University of Utah when
it received a University Diversity Award. Below are some of the opportunities
created by our commitment to diversity.
