Reviews
'This textbook sets the foundation for what cultural psychology means today. It explores well-established psychological theories from a multicultural perspective and addresses critiques of how these theories have not historically taken different cultural backgrounds into consideration. In our diverse world, books like Vaughn's are necessary to help us understand our peers and build a future that benefits all.' Leonard A. Jason, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology, DePaul University, Director, Center for Community Research The author discusses the basis of culture and presents related theories and concepts, including a description of how cognition and behaviour 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. The chapters cover topics including understanding and researching psychology and culture; self, multiple identities, and culture; human development, socialization, and culture; basic psychological processes and culture; intercultural interactions, acculturation, and living in a global world; health and culture; and intercultural communication and education.
