Rezensionen

Cross-cultural psychology is one of the most dynamic areas within the discipline and significant advances in understanding have been achieved over the past few decades. The consolidation of this information within the encyclopedia makes exciting reading for scholars up-dating their understanding of cultural and indigenous psychology.

--Professor Robert A. Cummins, Deakin University, Australia

The Encyclopedia of Cross-Cultural Psychology sets the standard as a scholarly, authoritative, and the most comprehensive reference in the field of cultural and cross-cultural psychology. It is a historic first in integrating domestic and international concepts of multiculturalism from indigenous to national and global perspectives in psychology. The encyclopedias are destined to become the primary research source for students and scholars seeking to expand their insights into cultural psychology, and to conduct conceptual and empirical research in the field.
