Abstract:
"Cultural and cross-cultural psychology and research continue to make strong contributions to mainstream psychology. Researchers and theoreticians from all parts of the globe increasingly contribute to this endeavor, enabling cultural and cross-cultural psychology and research to be one of the most exciting areas of study in psychology. This book describes the continued evolution and advancement of the main research domains of cultural and cross-cultural psychology. Renowned authors not only review the state-of-the-art in their respective fields but also describe the challenges and opportunities that their respective research domains face in the future. New chapters cover the teaching of a culturally-informed psychology and the increasing changes and advancements of cultures and societies around the world and their impact on individual psychologies. The book covers standard areas of well-studied concepts such as development, cognition, emotion, personality, psychopathology, psychotherapy, and acculturation, as well as emerging areas such as multicultural identities, cultural neuroscience, and religion. The book is a must read for all culturally informed scholars, both beginning and experienced"--

Publisher Synopsis
Perhaps the single most important but widely ignored contextual variable in psychology is culture. For many years, cultural psychologists have shown how little it is possible to understand about human behavior when that behavior is taken outside of its cultural context. Vast universal generalizations have been proposed about behavior that, because of limited sampling of participants, turns out to be culturally specific rather than universal. Matsumoto and Hwang'sHandbook of Culture and Psychology (second edition) will go a long way toward addressing the importance and nature of cultural variables that influence human thoughts, feelings, and behavior. I recommend the book highly to anyone who wants to understand behavior in its cultural context, not just in thecultural vacuum that so often leads to misleading and even false generalizations. * Robert J. Sternberg, Professor of Human Development, Cornell University * The updated second edition of The Handbook of Culture and Psychology includes core and emerging topics in the field of cross-cultural psychology written by the field's leading scholars. In an era of seemingly endless contradictions and tensions between nationalism and globalization, this book is an invaluable collection of critical but balanced reviews of cultural differences and universal psychological attributes, including development, personality,cognition, emotion, gender, religion, interventions, intergroup relations, and multicultural identities. This book is both an accessible introduction to this growing and diverse science and a state-of-the-art compendium for scholars of cross-cultural psychology and related disciplines. * Antonio Terracciano, Professor, Department of Geriatrics, College of Medicine, Florida State University * The essays are very thoroughly researched and written in logical and comprehensive styles... An interesting, up-to-date examination of a very appropriate, current topic that concerns not only current conditions but their implications for the future. * CHOICE * Read more...
