Ethnic psychology, also known as ethnopsychology and racial and ethnic minority psychology, is a subfield of psychology which studies how culture, language, and other elements of ethnic groups influence individuals’ behaviors. It also focuses on distinct sociocultural characteristics of particular races and tribes.
