This field-leading text puts psychological theories and concepts into a cross-cultural framework that invites you to discover, question, challenge, and ultimately understand the relationship between culture and psychology through exploration of such topics as changing gender roles, sexuality, health, aggression, personality, and mate selection. It all adds up to a text that will leave you with a deeper, more complex understanding of the nature of culture, its relationship to psychological processes, and the differences and similarities between cultures in our increasingly globalized world.
The book includes distinctive chapters on culture, language, communication, enculturation, and culture and developmental processes.
Comprehensive end-of-chapter summaries/conclusions and glossaries reinforce key concepts and facilitate study and review.
A thematic framework helps you explore the commonalities as well as the differences among cultures.
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the most up-to-date and important studies available in cross-cultural literature.
End-of-chapter conclusions and glossaries make key concepts easier to remember and reference as you review chapter material.
