Key Issues in Cross-cultural Psychology
Author: International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology. International Congress
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Ethnopsychology
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Key Issues in Cross-Cultural Psychology comprises a selection of papers presented at the Twelfth International Congress of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology, July 24-27, 1994, in Pamplona-Iruna, Navarra, Spain. The selected papers are organized into six main parts; I. Conceptual and Methodological Issues; II. Consequences of Acculturation; III. Cognitive Processes; IV. Values; V. Social Psychology; and VI. Personality, Developmental Psychology, Health Psychology. The themes that characterize current issues in cross-cultural psychology are presented. One is theoretical and involves the controversy regarding 'cross-cultural' vs. 'cultural' or 'indigenous' psychology. A second is the emphasis on 'indigenous' psychology, and on the detailed description of the historical and contextual variables of the culture. Acculturation is currently receiving considerable attention in cross-cultural psychology e.g., differential cognitive functioning as a consequence of acculturation, ethnic identity as part of the process of acculturation of migrants or ethnic groups, etc. The interest in values remains very strong in cross-cultural psychology. In addition to individualism-collectivism, there is new interest in Hofstede's Masculinity-Femininity. Other issues approached from the perspective of cross-cultural psychology are AIDS, disability, child-rearing practices, and subjective well-being.

Author: David Matsumoto

ISBN: 1139493140
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Cross-cultural research is now an undeniable part of mainstream psychology and has had a major impact on conceptual models of human behavior. Although it is true that the basic principles of social psychological methodology and data analysis are applicable to cross-cultural research, there are a number of issues that are distinct to it, including managing incongruities of language and quantifying cultural response sets in the use of scales. Cross-Cultural Research Methods in Psychology provides state-of-the-art knowledge about the methodological problems that need to be addressed if a researcher is to conduct valid and reliable cross-cultural research. It also offers practical advice and examples of solutions to those problems and is a must-read for any student of culture.

Cross Cultural Issues in Consumer Science and Consumer Psychology
Author: Hester van Herk
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319650912
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
This integrative volume identifies and defines cross-cultural issues in consumer psychology and consumer science as the world becomes an increasingly global marketplace. An international panel of experts analyzes current trends in consumer behavior across diverse countries worldwide and across cultural groups within countries, depicting commonly-used cross-cultural frameworks and research methods. Beginning with conceptualizing and quantifying culture at the national level, the volume then moves to individual levels of analysis of consumer decision-making, examining consumer data as they affect business decisions in marketing products internationally. The resulting work synthesizes the consumer science, international business, and consumer psychology literatures for a deeper understanding of all three disciplines and pathways to future research as cultures interact and tastes evolve. Among the topics covered: Culture as a driver of individual and national consumer behavior. Consumer culture-based attitudes toward buying foreign versus domestic products. Country-of-origin effects: consumer perceptions of international products. The roles of cultural influences in product branding. Cultural aspects of consumer-brand relationships. Consumer behavior in the emerging marketplace of subsistence countries. This attention to both national detail and individual nuance makes Cross-Cultural Issues in Consumer Science and Consumer Psychology an instructive and highly useful reference for scholars and students in consumer psychology, cross-cultural psychology, marketing, international business, as well as professionals in these areas.
