Cross-Cultural Psychology: Contemporary Themes and Perspectives
"In short, this book has some worthwhile chapters, highlighting studies of importance in taking fuller account of cultural variations in psychological phenomena." (Social Psychological Review, 2011)"Cross-Cultural Psychologywill be of value not only to students of psychology and experienced psychologists, but also to practitioners and researchers in other disciplines where their work requires them to relate to and understand people. As one of the chapter author's comments, ‘increasingly, we hear that we are living in a global community'. Psychology has surely to embody the cultural  inclusiveness and sensitivity to reflect this in order to respond to the challenges of living in and understanding the greater multi-cultural community that is humanity." (Inclusion News, February 20110"In sum, this book contains an extraordinary mixture of the rich and stimulating and the pedestrian. The question arises for what kind of readership it is intended. The editorial introduction appears to assume that the prospective reader knows next to nothing about cross-cultural psychology, Moreover the editor, in both his preface and after-word, addresses 'the student reader', seeming to imply a text-book function."
