Reflecting author C igdem KagitC ibasi' s influential work over the
last two decades, this new edition examines human development, the
self, and the family in a cultural context. It challenges the
existing assumptions in mainstream western psychology about the
nature of individuals. The author proposes a new model-- the "
Autonomous-Related Self" -- which expands on existing theory by
demonstrating how culture influences self development. The
development of competence is examined from a contextual
perspective, with a view towards global urbanization which is
creating increasingly similar lifestyles around the world. The
implications of this perspective are discussed extensively,
particularly early intervention policy implications related to
promoting human competence in immigration and acculturation. Rich
in both theory and application, each topic is introduced with a
historical antecedent and earlier research before current work is
discussed.
This new edition also features:
*a new theoretical perspective that integrates cultural variation
with universal human development trajectories in the context of
social change, globalization, and immigration;
*two new chapters on " Parenting and the Development of the
Autonomous Related Self" and " Immigration and Acculturation";
*a more student-friendly approach with boxed stories, summary and
main point reviews, discussion questions, and an extensive
bibliography in each chapter; and
*a comprehensive glossary of all the book' s key terms for a quick
reference.
Intended as a graduate or advanced undergraduate level text for
courses addressingcross-cultural psychology taught in a variety of
departments including developmental, community, family, and
educational psychology, this comprehensive volume will also appeal
to researchers interested in issues of human development in a
socio-cultural context.
