What makes up a culture?
Diversity in Clinical Practice 1
, Cultural Differences
Individualism VS collectivism
Individualism: personal goal pursuit and autonomy
Collectivism: view the self as overlapping with and interconnected to others. Emphasizes
maintaining relationships and social harmony.
Power distance - high or low
This is the way people in a society relate to each other on a hierarchical scale.
A culture that gives great deference to a person of authority is a High Power Distance
culture.
A culture that values the equal treatment of everyone is a Low Power Distance culture
Gender Egalitarianism
Low gender egalitarian cultures are characterized by beliefs in the traditional gendered
division of labor, such that men are viewed as breadwinners and women are viewed as
caretakers and mothers, whereas in high gender egalitarian cultures there is less adherence
to these traditional gender roles

of another country. The act of coming to your own country.

Acculturation
-The process of adapting to and incorporating aspects of new culture when individuals or
communities are exposed to it. It involves retaining some element of one’s original culture while
embracing and adopting new elements of the new culture.
The building blocks of acculturation
Contact: a major prerequisite for acculturation is contact following “meeting” between at
least two cultural groups or individuals who come together in a “continuous” and “firsthand”
manner.
Reciprocal influence: Mutual or reciprocal influences, where in theory, both groups
influence each other.
Change: An inherent aspect of contact is change which involves both a process that is
dynamic, and outcome which may be relatively stable.
