The unprecedented economic growth in many East Asian societies in
the few past decades have placed the region center stage, and
increasing globalization has made East-West cultural understanding
of even greater importance today. The Psychological and Cultural
Foundations of East Asian Cognition is one of the most
comprehensive volumes on East Asian cognition and thinking styles
to date, and is one of the first to bring together a large body of
empirical research on naive dialecticism and analytic/holistic
thinking theories stemming from Richard Nisbett's highly
influential The Geography of Thought. Edited by Julie
Spencer-Rodgers and Kaiping Peng, The Psychological and Cultural
Foundations of East Asian Cognition expertly examines the
psychological, philosophical, and cultural underpinnings and
consequences of these thinking theories for human thought, emotion,
and behavior. In the past couple of decades, research on this topic
has flourished, and East-West cultural differences have been
documented in almost all aspects of the human condition, from the
manner in which people reason and make decisions, conceptualize
themselves and those around them, to how they cope with stress and
mental illness, and interact with others, including romantic
partners and social groups. Contributions to this volume cover such
fascinating and diverse topics as cultural neuroscience and the
brain, lifespan development, attitudes and group perception,
romantic relationships, the adoption of foreign mindsets and
perspectives, creativity, emotion, the self-concept, racial and
ethnic identity, psychopathology, and coping processes and
wellbeing. Further, the research featured within this volume has
practical implications for business and organizational management,
international relations and politics, education, and clinical and
counseling psychology, and may be of particular interest to
business professionals, managers in government and non-profit
sectors, as well as educators and clinicians working with East
Asians and Americans of East Asian descent.
