Indigenous psychologies are attempts to portray the concepts,
and to present the evidence, about human behaviour and experience
from a point of view within the cultural traditions of the group.
It takes a position that distances itself from a uniform (usually
Western) psychology, and explores human psychological variation in
its own cultural contexts. Indigenous psychologies provide
important alternatives to the existing unitary psychology, but in
their very diversity we may discover variations and communalities
that could provide the basic material to create a more truly
pan-human psychology. Thus, diversity in psychological knowledge
may allow for the eventual development of a more representative
psychology that will likely be very different from current
conceptions of human behaviour.
