As intercultural encounters between people in the modern world
become more common, important questions have been raised about the
nature of culture-specific differences and similarities. Focusing
on the relationship between culture and human development, this
timely book offers an interdisciplinary exploration of key
developmental processes. It combines psychological and sociological
approaches with cross-cultural research to examine phenomena such
as the transfer of culture between generations and the universality
of attachment theory. Drawing on detailed research from a range of
cultural groups, leading international researchers consider the
impact of social change and modernization on the development of the
individual and at the societal level. Theoretical and
methodological issues are presented in terms of how to apply the
results of cross-cultural research as well as recent empirical
research done in specialized areas of the field. Finally,
short-term intercultural exchanges are examined and used to suggest
some of the potential practical uses of cross-cultural research for
the future. This book will be essential reading for anyone studying
or researching in cultural psychology, cross-cultural psychology,
acculturation or behavioral development. It will also prove an
invaluable source of information for anyone interested in sociology
and the social sciences in general.
