This volume presents ways of thinking dramatically different
from mainstream psychology, which is seen by many as primarily a
product of Western civilization. Asian social psychologists in this
edited collection apply Asian perspectives to issues of major
concern in their societies, including parental beliefs about shame
and moral socialization in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the United
States; achievement motivation in Taiwan and the United States; and
the effects of school violence on the psychological adjustment of
Korean adolescents. Other chapters examine the role of social
psychologists in Confucian societies, and group dynamics in Japan.
The authors believe psychological research using an indigenous
approach will enable Asian as well as non-Asian psychologists to
understand the cognitions and behaviors of Asian people more
accurately.
Scholars and students interested in Asian psychology, social,
cultural and cross-cultural psychology will find this volume of
interest.
