Human beings are inherently cultural beings -- growing up in an
environment that is steeped in culture and developing our
self-construal accordingly. The psychology book series Self in
Culture in Mind (SICIM) gathers current research perspectives on
this issue. This second volume in the series offers new theoretical
and methodological frameworks for a deeper understanding of how
self-construal is enabled, influenced and lived in culture. The
book comprises four approaches to basic research, four applied
perspectives, and a meta-theoretical integration. The basic
research approaches highlight the roles of early memories, cultural
artefacts, parents and peers in developing a cultured self, and
examine the relationship between well-being and self-serving bias
across culture; and the applications concern psychopathologys
variation with culture, identity reconstruction after immigration
and gendered violence, and family therapy across cultures. The
integrative chapter identifies different kinds of self-knowledge
captured by the preceding approaches and argues for a dynamic
understanding of self-in-culture.
