Short description:	The aim of classes is to present up-to-date knowledge about analysis of human behaviors in the cultural, political and economic contexts. The coverage of topics will be related to cross-cultural psychology and political psychology. I focus on presenting issues related to dimensions of culture, cultural values and inter-group relations. During classes I plan to present the most popular theories related to cross-cultural psychology including the newest findings in the field, like belief in life in zero-sum game, agency-communion collective narcissism model or dealing with COVID-19 pandemic. As cross-cultural and political psychology researcher I will discuss also the findings from four international projects conducted by our team on entitlement, narcissism, and religiosity.
