Social values and development: Asian perspectives

by Durganand Sinha (Contributor)

The theme of this book is the role of psychology in dealing with problems of national development. Questions examined which attitudes and values, if any, are universally associated with socio-economic development; to what extent do such values conflict with traditional beliefs and attitudes; how can knowledge from psychological research be most effectively used for modernization and development without disrupting traditional values cherished by the culture.
