Beth Morling earned her B.A. in Psychology from Carleton College and the Ph.D. in social and personality psychology from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. She has taught at liberal arts colleges (Union College and Muhlenberg College) before teaching at the University of Delaware. Throughout her career, she has focused on both classroom teaching and cultural psychology research. She regularly teaches courses on research methods, cultural psychology, the self-concept, and the teaching of psychology, and has published a textbook in research methods. Beth’s most recent scholarly research has focused on how culture shapes human motivation and social life, as well as where cultural differences are located and measured—whether within the person, or in cultural products such as media, texts, or buildings. She is a Fulbright scholar, having lectured and conducted research in Kyoto, Japan from 2010-11. She is a Delaware State Professor of the Year, an award from CASE and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
