Psychology and Culture: Thinking, Feeling and Behaving in a Global Context

Rate this book
With increasing globalization, countries face social, linguistic, religious and other cultural changes that can lead to misunderstandings in a variety of settings. These changes can have broader implications across the world, leading to changing dynamics in identity, gender, relationships, family, and community. This book addresses the subsequent need for a basic understanding of the cultural dimensions of psychology and their application to everyday settings. The book discusses the basis of culture and presents related theories and concepts, including a description of how cognition and behavior are influenced by different sociocultural contexts. The text explores a broad definition of culture and provides practical models to improve intercultural relations, communication, and cultural competency. Each chapter contains an introduction, a concise overview of the topic, a practical application of the topic using current global examples, and a brief summary. This up to date overview of psychology and culture is ideal reading for undergraduate and graduate students and academics interested in culturally related topics and issues.

kitabın çok büyük bir kısmı vasat yazılmış bir literatür bölümünden halliceydi, yorumsuz, bağlantısız kavram setlerinden ibaret gibi hissettiriyordu. bunda "ben akademik teşvikte puan kazanmak için yapılmış bir çeviriyim" kokusu gelen kupkuru tercümesinin de epey payı var.

herhangi bir fikri temellendirmek için bulduğumuz en iyi yol fi tarihinde 32 kişiyle yapılmış bir çalışmanın sonuçlarını referans vermekse belki de o fikri temellendirmemiz gerekmiyordur. kavram ve kağıt israfı da yapmamış oluruz hem.

yazarın özne olduğunu hatırlayarak yorum yaptığı, kavramlar üzerine düşündüğü kısımlarsa son derece keyifli ve öğretici, düşünmeye teşvik edici nitelikteydi bence.
