This edited volume is intended to broaden the psychology of culture
in two ways. First, the chapters discuss an impressive array of
cultural influences - not just country of origin, East-West, or
collectivism-individualism - but professional and disciplinary
cultures, historical changes in cultures, social class, frontier
settlement and geographical regions, political cultures, religion,
and gender. While this is not an exhaustive list of the kinds of
culture that psychology should be interested in, it is an exciting
and fruitful new direction for psychology. Second, this book
advances several new theories about the origins and processes of
cultural development, from biological evolution to the division of
labor and other aspects of social class. Among the contributions to
cultural psychology as a whole, individual chapters offer insights
into: * How to improve interdisciplinary collaboration in
universities * Why some groups are relatively disadvantaged in
various academic and professional fields * What methods are useful
in studying temporal changes in cultures * How to avoid
perpetuating hegemonic styles of thinking; for example, assuming
that upper class people only influence lower class people * How
regional differences in individualism-collectivism, well- being,
honor and retribution, and personality persist over time * Why
cosmopolitan cities may productively be viewed as modern frontiers
* What cultural psychologists can learn from food * Why some people
favor suites of political views that seem incompatible * How
culture can be an expression of evolutionary processes This book
will help students explore directions for their research and
inspire generations of psychologists interested in culture.
