PS330 Unit 5 Discussion Hello everyone. How culture shapes personality, values, and beliefs? One’s culture plays a crucial role in shaping one’s personality, values, and beliefs. By providing a context and framework for learning and understanding, culture influences an individual’s perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors-ultimately shaping their personality. Additionally, culture instills values that serve as guiding principles for people’s actions and decisions. Furthermore, culture shapes beliefs, which form the basis for an individual’s perception and interpretation of the world (Twenge & Campbell, 2020). How has your cultural background influenced your understanding of your own personality? Specific cultural beliefs that have shaped your self-perception and personality traits? My cultural background living in the Midwest revolved a lot around family togetherness. Due to this, I feel as though my personality revolves around my family. We also did not go out very often when I was growing up. Both of these environmental factors have led to traits such as introversion. I do not really like to go out a lot and usually just stay close to the family. How understanding cultural differences in personality enhance our ability to work effectively with people from diverse backgrounds? Gaining insight into the cultural influences on personality allows us to recognize and embrace the distinct outlooks, actions, and principles that people from diverse culture offer. This awareness has the potential to mitigate prejudices and preconceptions, promote successful communication, and cultivate a workplace that is welcoming and considerate. For example, certain cultures may prioritize collectivism or individualism, affecting how members of those

cultures approach collaborative efforts, decision-making, and resolving differences (Twenge & Campbell, 2020). Importance of cultural humility in building and maintaining relationships with colleagues, clients, or customers from different cultural backgrounds? Cultural humility is an essential practice in multicultural settings. It requires individuals to acknowledge and challenge their own cultural biases, remaining open to learning from others. This approach recognized that there are different ways of understanding and interacting with the world beyond our own cultural background and experiences. By adopting cultural humility, we can cultivate trust, respect, and mutual understanding, which are crucial components of successful relationships with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. With cultural humility, we can appreciate and utilize the richness of cultural diversity to enhance our work and relationships. References Twenge, J. M. & Campbell, W. K. (2020).
