About this title

Synopsis:

This work brings together decades of research and expertise on cross-cultural psychology. It focuses on social behaviour and culture's influence on how people interact. It can be used for social psychology, advanced social psychology, cross-cultural psychology, introductory psychology, sociology and political science courses. The text aims to familiarize students with the multicultural world in which they live and to help them understand what they have to learn to become more effective in their interactions with people from other cultures. It includes analysis of subjective cultures and how they can be studied, as well as cultural differences. It then shows how these can be identified and how inferences can be made from the information: ie it links subjective culture to behaviour and shows that cultural differences on aggression, helping, intimacy, sexual behaviour, conformity, obedience and conflict resolution may be understood within a theoretical framework.
