Traditional psychology has long been concerned with cognition,
motivation, emotion, and the mind in general?the mind being held
responsible for individual behavior in society?and scholars of
social and cultural psychology have worked in relative isolation.
Meaning in Action is a bold departure as it places culture at the
center of human functioning and posits that it is not the
independent mind that gives rise to human action but participation
in a world of socially created meanings. Each chapter illuminates
the socially grounded view of the individual. Investigations into
the power of shared meanings, norms, and moralities in everyday
life, as well as individual and social narratives, point to their
pivotal significance in human relationships. Among other topics, it
provides new insights into forgiveness, infant adoption, trauma,
supranational identity, and prejudice. The book offers an
alternative to the widely dominant vision of psychological
functioning and draws on a wide variety of current movements to
present a deeply challenging and globally integrative view of human
behavior.
