It should be of broad interest across disciplines and is a must-read for any scholar or practitioner interested in the study of culture.' Michele Gelfand, University of Maryland 'We would describe Sullivan's efforts as highly ambitious and insightful. Due to the salience that American politics and the associated culture clash have recently enjoyed, there is a possibility that we are, in part, prisoners of the moment, but we think not. Sullivan is clearly on to something in his attempt to bring an appreciation of culture and cultural differences to the study of the ways in which individuals deal with suffering and threat. For the betterment of psychological science as well as our own conscience, we hope that he continues to integrate these important areas of research.' William L.
