Human development doesn’t occur in a vacuum. Rather, it is deeply
rooted in, and affected by, culture. This textbook examines how
culture affects several domains of development, including
cognition, emotion, sociolinguistics, peer relationships, family
relationships, and more. The chapters highlight differences
between “WEIRD” cultures (Western, educated, and from
industrialized, rich, and democratic countries) and non-WEIRD
cultures, as well as differences with respect to gender,
race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other identity
markers. Each chapter draws upon a large research base and
highlights specific studies to engage students, illustrate key
points, and convey the role of empirical research in psychology. As
a result, students will learn that the development of behavior,
values, social relationships, ways of seeing the world, language,
and thought processes cannot be understood separate from culture.
This book responds to the absence of a comprehensive consideration
of the implications of culture for children's peer relationships.
Although research in this field has burgeoned in recent years,
cultural issues have often been overlooked. The chapters tap such
issues as the impact of social circumstances and cultural values on
peer relationships, culturally prescribed socialization patterns
and processes, emotional experience and regulation in peer
interactions, children's social behaviors in peer interactions,
cultural aspects of friendships, and peer influences on social and
school adjustment in cultural context. The authors incorporate into
their discussions findings from research programs using multiple
methodologies, including both qualitative (e.g., interviewing,
ethnographic and observational) and quantitative (e.g., large scale
surveys, standardized questionnaires) approaches, based on a wide
range of ages of children in cultures from East to West and from
South to North (Asia, South America, the Mid-East, Southern Europe,
and ethnic groups in the US).
