Understanding Cross-Cultural Psychology

Eastern and Western Perspectives

Beschreibung

Eloquently introducing students to international perspectives on cross-cultural psychology (both Eastern and Western cultures), this textbook contains many features to promote student learning. It:

-contains an array of vignettes, case studies and other text features

-addresses international research on cross-cultural psychology unlike other books that focus purely on Western perspectives

-is thoughtfully yet provocatively written, appropriately combining the narrative and the informative

The main thrust of the book's content is to discuss the framework of culture, family structure, health, bereavement and intercultural interaction - and all of their intersections - and consideration is also given to methodological and ethical research issues and their application to differing cultures.

Rezensionen

'Few psychology books capture the reader through their table of contents like this one. The book contrasts dominant ideas from Eastern and Western psychology and, in doing so, challanges one's own assumptions...perhaps the book's greatest strength is the holistic focus on life as a lived experience, which also makes it fun to read.' -
The Psychologist



'Even if the examples mainly describe the differences between the Indian and western ways of thinking they do help in understanding cultural differences in general...One can recommend Cross-cultural Psychology for people from many different fields. It is not just professionals of psychology or social psychology who need to understand these differences'
