As one of the chapter author's comments, ‘increasingly, we hear that we are living in a global community'. Psychology has surely to embody the cultural  inclusiveness and sensitivity to reflect this in order to respond to the challenges of living in and understanding the greater multi-cultural community that is humanity.\" (\u003ci\u003eInclusion News\u003c\/i\u003e, February 20110)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"In sum, this book contains an extraordinary mixture of the rich and stimulating and the pedestrian. The question arises for what kind of readership it is intended. The editorial introduction appears to assume that the prospective reader knows next to nothing about cross-cultural psychology, Moreover the editor, in both his preface and after-word, addresses 'the student reader', seeming to imply a text-book function.\" (\u003ci\u003eMetapsychology\u003c\/i\u003e, December 2010)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eKenneth D. Keith\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Psychology at University of San Diego. He is author of more than 75 professional publications including Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Quality of Life (ed. with R.L. Schalock, 2000). He is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Western Psychological Association.  Do people from different backgrounds experience basic psychological processes in the same way? Are there basic psychological principles that transcend culture? The articles in this volume, drawn from an experienced, international team of researchers and teachers, answer these questions and many others in order to situate the essential areas of psychology within a cultural perspective.\u003cbr\u003e Arranged thematically, this collection explores the relationship of culture to psychological phenomena.  It covers foundational information about introductory and research topics, as well as more advanced clinical and social principles and applications. Packed with research findings and real-world examples, \u003ci\u003eCross-Cultural Psychology: Contemporary Themes and Perspectives\u003c\/i\u003e discusses the importance of considering issues such as ethnocentrism, diversity, gender and sexuality in psychology and their impact on research methods.  \"How can psychology teachers incorporate more global research and concepts into their existing or new courses? For the growing number of teachers who seek to do this, this reader is a timely gem. Editor Ken Keith is himself a master teacher, and his introductory chapter on cross-cultural psychology segues into 29 original essays by some leading U.S. and non-USA contributors, covering a wide swath of 10 specialties—including social, developmental, cognition, gender. This cutting-edge volume seems well-suited to stand alone, or to complement a more traditional textbook for survey courses.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eHarold Takooshian\u003c\/b\u003e, Fordham University","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989008662757,"sku":"NP9781405198042","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405198042.jpg?v=1761782414","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/cross-cultural-psychology-isbn-9781405198042","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
