Synopsis
A landmark collection of both theory and applications in cross-cultural psychology, Asian Contributions to Cross-Cultural Psychology offers a new and revealing perspective--the Asian sociocultural context. This team of notable international contributors offers rich source material on a wide range of compelling issues, among them, the impact of culture on socialization and development of the self, cognitive and achievement processes, and cross-cultural adjustment. A cross-cultural examination of entrepreneurship, unemployment, and aging also augments this valuable compilation. Taken together, the chapters reveal that for a more complete understanding of human nature, and for planned intervention to solve problems, the sociocultural context must be taken into serious consideration. Asian Contributions to Cross-Cultural Psychology is an important resource for both researchers and students in cross-cultural psychology, personality and developmental psychology, cultural anthropology, and sociology as well as practitioners working in multicultural contexts in the wide range of human services.

This volume presents some of the most recent and exciting Asian contributions to understanding the role of culture in the study of human nature. Written by eminent scholars from diverse cultural backgrounds, the chapters explore theoretical issues pertinent to, and applications of, cross-cultural psychological research. The contributions are organized into four sections which cover: theoretical issues and applications; family experiences and cognitive processes; dimensions of self and the achievement process; and social values and problems of developing societies.
