Psychologists study the behavior of humans, but not all humans are alike; understanding another cultural perspective can help a future psychologist analyze specific behaviors and interpret and make comparisons between social institutions. Immersion in another culture can give psychology students a deeper educational background on identity, lifestyle, and behavior.
