Subjective Well-Being From The Perspective Of Self-Compassion In Adolescents, Annisa Reginasart, Uly Gusniarti
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The aims of this study was to determine the relationship between self-compassion and subjective well-being in adolescents. The proposed hypothesis is that higher self-compassion correlates with higher subjective well-being. Boy and girl adolescent students (ages14 to 20 years old) were the subject of research as students. Data are collected using the scale on terms of the scale -compassion theory suggested by Neff (2012) and subjective well-being adapted from Diener (1984). Data were analyzed with the using Pearson Product-Moment analysis. Results showed that self-compassion is positively correlated with subjective well-being with the value of (r =0.487; p = 0.000 [ …

A Cross-Cultural Study Of Psychological Well-Being Among British And Malaysian Fire Fighters, Mohd. Dahlan Hj. A. Malek, Ida Shafinaz Mohd
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Psychological consideration has always been a part of society and it usually relates to values, beliefs, ethnicity and gender. This is the essence of cultural psychology. In recent times, this branch of psychology has developed the new arm of Cross-Cultural Psychology, an extension of psychology covering the influence on behaviour when cultural groups interact. This study is a comparative study of two cultural groups, namely Malaysian and British fire fighters. Sources of occupational stress and their impact on psychological wellbeing were examined in a questionnaire survey of 1053 British and Malaysian fire fighters. The role of coping strategies as moderating …

Culture Display Rules Of Smiling And Personal Well-Being: Mutually Reinforcing Or Compensatory Phenomena? Polish - Canadian Comparisons, Daniela Hekiert, Saba Safdar, Pawel Boski, Kuba Krys, J Rees Lewis
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Cultures vary in terms of emotional display rules, which include the expression of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. In Poland there is a norm of negativity, deriving from a culture of complaining (Wojciszke & Baryła, 2005), whereas in Canada, there is a tendency to express happiness (Safdar, Friedlmeier, Matsumoto, Yoo, Kwantes, Kakai, & Shigemasu, E., 2009). In the present research project, norms and values regarding smiling in public situations, norms regarding the affirmation of life and complaining, as well as individual measures of optimism (LOT-R) and well-being (SWLS) were measured among Poles and Canadians. The results showed that the cultural display rules …
Validity And Reliability Of The Aydin-Flow Coping With Stress Scale (Afcss) On Multiple Samples In The United States, Kâmile Bahar Aydın, Eric Sandarg
Validity And Reliability Of The Aydin-Flow Coping With Stress Scale (Afcss) On Multiple Samples In The United States, Kâmile Bahar Aydın, Eric Sandarg
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The Aydin-Flow Coping with Stress Scale (AFCSS) based on flow theory was developed on United States college students and consists of multiple samples (N=203). The scale contains five subscales: Self-Assurance, Removal of Obstacles, Setting New Goals, Focus on the World/Active Contact with the Social Environment, and Unselfconscious/Unselfish, according to the previous study in the exploratory factor analysis. The model was reproduced well in a confirmatory factor analysis. Trait anxiety (STAI-T) was related to coping dimensions. Unselfconscious was related to Escape, Distancing, Self Control, Positive Reappraisal, Confronting, Accepting Responsibility, Seeking Social Support, and Planful Problem Solving of Ways of Coping Questionnaire-Revised. …
A Comparative Study Of Jajonshim And Self-Esteem, Shinhwa Suh, Min Han, Joane Adeclas
A Comparative Study Of Jajonshim And Self-Esteem, Shinhwa Suh, Min Han, Joane Adeclas
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The Korean dictionary of psychology terms includes the word jajonshim, which means “self-esteem.” However, the meaning of jajonshim as Koreans use it is different from the meaning of self-esteem. Thus, we perform two studies to clarify the concept of jajonshim and to demonstrate how it differs from self-esteem. The purpose of Study 1 is to determine the socio-cultural meanings of jajonshim by examining its shared social representation in Korean culture. We ask open-ended questions and conduct a literature review related to jajonshim. The results of the text analysis show that Koreans perceive jajonshim as something that a person …
Locating The Self In Autobiographical Memories: A New Approach To Analysis, Radka Antalíková, Manuel L. De La Mata, AndréS SantamaríA, Mercedes Cubero, Samuel Arias, Tia G. B. Hansen
Locating The Self In Autobiographical Memories: A New Approach To Analysis, Radka Antalíková, Manuel L. De La Mata, AndréS SantamaríA, Mercedes Cubero, Samuel Arias, Tia G. B. Hansen
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Systematic cross-cultural variation in autobiographical memory has been reported in numerous previous research. Variations have often been interpreted as mirroring differences in culturally diverging self-conceptions, implying that content characteristics of autobiographical memories can be used as indirect measures of self. However, a majority of these characteristics rest on the traditional independence vs. interdependence dimension, and might only be suitable for typically Western and Eastern populations. Other content characteristics could be more instrumental for “locating” the self in autobiographical memories, such as the incidence of actions, mental states and reflections. We therefore propose a new approach to content analysis of autobiographical …
Tolerance For Ambiguity As A Potential Barrier To Intercultural Interactions, Randall E. Osborne, Paul Kriese
Tolerance For Ambiguity As A Potential Barrier To Intercultural Interactions, Randall E. Osborne, Paul Kriese
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Online teaching brings both unique challenges and opportunities to students and faculty (e.g, Prensky, 2009). Some of these challenges and opportunities are in the area of perceptions of online teaching itself (e.g, Osborne, Kriese, Tobey and Johnson, 2009a), some involve unrealistic expectations or lack of appropriate preparation on the part of students (e.g, Clark, 2010) and others involve the match between faculty teaching styles, student learning styles and digital instruction (e.g, Chen, Kinshuk, Wei & Liu, 2010; Sheng-Wen, Yu-Ruei, Gwo-Jen & Nian-Shing, 2011). These challenges might present particular difficulties when the goal is …

Understanding Uzbek Child Rearing As A Mediating Factor In The Government’S Reliance On Child Forced Labor During The Annual Cotton Harvest: A Pilot Project, Kathleen Crowley
Understanding Uzbek Child Rearing As A Mediating Factor In The Government’S Reliance On Child Forced Labor During The Annual Cotton Harvest: A Pilot Project, Kathleen Crowley
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
In this pilot study, 11 international students studying in the Capital District region of upstate New York completed the Parental Authority Questionnaire (Sensese, Bornstein, Haynes, Rossi, and Venuti, 2012) and two also completed the Parenting Style Questionnaire (Robinson, Mandleeco, Olsen, & Hart, 1995) in an attempt to validate these instruments for diverse cultures. All participants contributed to focus group discussions of parenting attitudes and practices in their home countries to refine the focus group methodology. Two participants from Uzbekistan were interviewed individually to explore parental attitudes and practices that may relate to that country’s ongoing reliance on forced child labor …
Polish Baby Boom In United Kingdom – Emotional Determinants Of Medical Care Perception By Pregnant Poles In Uk, Maria Kazmierczak, Agnieszka Nowak, Beata Pastwa-Wojciechowska, Robin Goodwin
Polish Baby Boom In United Kingdom – Emotional Determinants Of Medical Care Perception By Pregnant Poles In Uk, Maria Kazmierczak, Agnieszka Nowak, Beata Pastwa-Wojciechowska, Robin Goodwin
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
In the year of 2004 United Kingdom experienced the wave of immigration from Poland which was recently admitted to the European Union. In 2010 Poland was one of three countries of origin of non-UK born mothers, and the increase in birth rates among Poles in United Kingdom has started in 2005 (Office for National Statistics, 2010; Hayes et al., 2011). The aim of this paper is to examine the perception of various components of medical care received during the course of pregnancy by Polish women residing in the United Kingdom (N = 106). We took under consideration two aspects …
Parenting Stress In Immigrant Families Of Children With An Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Comparison With Families From The Host Culture, M Millau, M Rivard, C Mercier, C Mello
Parenting Stress In Immigrant Families Of Children With An Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Comparison With Families From The Host Culture, M Millau, M Rivard, C Mercier, C Mello
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Immigrant families of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) face significant challenges in accessing and using rehabilitation services appropriate for their child’s disorder. Compared to families native to their host country, the stress experienced by these families in relation to their child’s condition may be magnified by their immigrant status. This study compared self-reported parenting stress levels among 24 mothers and 17 fathers who had immigrated to Canada to income-matched, Canadian-born parents. Overall, Canadian-born parents tended to report higher stress levels than immigrant parents, but this may be primarily due to the high stress levels among Canadian-born fathers relative to …
Family Climate And Adolescent Aggression: An Analysis Of Their Relationships, Carmen Rodríguez-Naranjo, Antonio Caño
Family Climate And Adolescent Aggression: An Analysis Of Their Relationships, Carmen Rodríguez-Naranjo, Antonio Caño
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between family functioning (problem solving, communication, roles, affective responsiveness, affective involvement, behaviour control and general functioning) and the development of different expressions of aggressive behaviour in adolescents. Data were collected from a sample of 722 Spanish adolescents who completed the Family Assessment Device and the self-report form of the Children’s Social Behavior Scale. Regression analyses confirmed the specific influence of different dimensions of family functioning on specific types of aggressive behaviour in adolescents. These findings pointed out that a better understanding of family functioning dimensions is necessary in order …
Sensory Experience In Interpersonal Physical Attraction: Cross-Cultural Comparison, Elena Zarubko, Victor Karandashev, Madgerie Jameson-Charles, Stephanie Hutcheson, Jane Carter
Sensory Experience In Interpersonal Physical Attraction: Cross-Cultural Comparison, Elena Zarubko, Victor Karandashev, Madgerie Jameson-Charles, Stephanie Hutcheson, Jane Carter
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The purpose of the study is to explore the role of visual, auditory, tactile-kinesthetic, and olfactory factors in determining physical attraction to another person in romantic love. Participants from three regions (the USA, Russia, Caribbean countries) completed the survey evaluating the role, which senses play in their attraction to a romantic partner. The questions that were asked were about the importance of the impressions for physical attraction to a partner, rather than the specific physical characteristics, which make a person attractive. Factor analysis identified several factors, which cluster together various sensory experiences, such as expressive behavior, dancing, singing, facial structure, …
A Similarity Graph-Based Approach To Study Social Representations Of The Economic Crisis: A Comparison Between Italian And Greek Social Groups, Roberto Fasanelli, Anna Liguori, Ida Galli
A Similarity Graph-Based Approach To Study Social Representations Of The Economic Crisis: A Comparison Between Italian And Greek Social Groups, Roberto Fasanelli, Anna Liguori, Ida Galli
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
In order to analyse the common sense theories about the economic thinking and acting, this research has been conducted with the theoretical framework of the Social Representation Theory. By interviewing Italian and Greek participants belonging to different social groups, we examined how expert and lay people face this phenomenon. Inspired by the Structural Approach, which considers SRs as constituted of two parts (a structure and a content), data were collected through specific strategies and were created ad hoc: hierarchized evocations, characterization and multiple choice questionnaires. Four groups of participants (N=120 for each country; n=30 for each group; gender balanced) …
Outgroup Attitudes As A Function Of East Asian Religiousness: Marked By High Or Low Prejudice?, Magali Clobert, Vassilis Saroglou, Kwang-Kuo Hwang, Wen-Li Soong
Outgroup Attitudes As A Function Of East Asian Religiousness: Marked By High Or Low Prejudice?, Magali Clobert, Vassilis Saroglou, Kwang-Kuo Hwang, Wen-Li Soong
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Research on religion and prejudice has mostly been limited to Western Christian participants and beliefs. Evidence, overall, favors the idea of a religion-prejudice link. Does this also hold for East Asian religions, usually perceived as tolerant, and cultures, characterized by holistic thinking and tolerance of contradictions? We review here four recent studies and provide meta-analytic estimation of the East Asian interreligious prejudice. East Asian religiosity was associated with low explicit prejudice against religious outgroups in general (Study 1; adults from Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan) and three specific religious outgroups, i.e. Christians, Jews, and Muslims, but not atheists (Study …
Do Individual-Level Value Preferences Impact Country-Level Social Cohesion? An Exploratory Multi-Level Analysis Based On Ess Data, Mandy Boehnke, Klaus Boehnke
Do Individual-Level Value Preferences Impact Country-Level Social Cohesion? An Exploratory Multi-Level Analysis Based On Ess Data, Mandy Boehnke, Klaus Boehnke
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This chapter links macro-level social cohesion to individual value preferences. It explores the predictive, concomitant, and consequential character of cohesion in relation to individual value preferences. Is it that prior cohesion predicts later value preferences? Or is it that certain earlier value preferences impact later social cohesion? Or is there, if at all, only contemporaneous covariation? To answer these research questions, ESS values data from rounds 1-4 (2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008 waves) were separately linked with country-level social cohesion scores from (1) a prior time period, (2) the same time period, and (3) a later time period [e.g., ESS …
Cultural Perspectives On Ingroups Versus Outgroups And Shame Experiences, Bai Lin, Bee Chin Ng
Cultural Perspectives On Ingroups Versus Outgroups And Shame Experiences, Bai Lin, Bee Chin Ng
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The concept of self varies across cultures: in some cultures, individuals tend to see themselves as interdependent on others, and clear distinction is made between in-groups and out-groups because in-group members are seen as part of the “BIG SELF”. In other cultures individuals see themselves as independent and autonomous and have a less salient boundary between in-groups and out-groups. Little empirical work has been done on how such different cultural perspectives on in-groups, versus out-groups, shape emotional experiences. Although emotions are always internally experienced, these experiences often involve interpersonal and social interactions, and therefore how we think of ourselves in …
Revised Sources Of Guidance Measures: Six Events And Demographic Controls, Mark F. Peterson, Taís S. Barreto, Peter B. Smith
Revised Sources Of Guidance Measures: Six Events And Demographic Controls, Mark F. Peterson, Taís S. Barreto, Peter B. Smith
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
In this paper, we update the country-level scores of sources of guidance reported in Peterson and Smith (2008) across 61 countries and based on 7,982 respondents. These scores represent aggregate tendencies of the use of specific sources of guidance in a country and provide an alternative to value-based cultural measures. Based on role and cognition theories, sources include how roles, rules and norms influence decision making in six frequent organizational events that managers encounter. Scores are controlled for demographic effects of respondents’ age and gender, as well as for organizational characteristics, namely ownership, department and organizational types. We also provide …
Why Employee Turnover? The Influence Of Chinese Management And Organizational Justice, Feng-Hsia Kao, Min-Ping Huang, Bor-Shiuan Cheng
Why Employee Turnover? The Influence Of Chinese Management And Organizational Justice, Feng-Hsia Kao, Min-Ping Huang, Bor-Shiuan Cheng
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Employee turnover is an important topic in organizational behavior research. Understanding how to address turnover in Chinese organizations is also a practice problem. The aim of this paper is to explore the impact of paternalistic leadership (authoritarianism, benevolence, and morality) on employee turnover and examine the moderating effect of organizational justice (distributive justice, interactional justice, and procedural justice). Data were collected from 207 supervisor and subordinate dyads of 51 stores in a Chinese food and beverage company. Paternalistic leadership and organizational justice were initially collected from subordinates. After six months, employee turnover was collected from supervisors. The results indicate that …

Role Of Empowering Leadership In Absorptive Capacity Through Outcome Interdependence: A Cultural Perspective, Rishabh Rai, Anand Prakash
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This study explores the influence process involved in the relationship between empowering leadership and absorptive capacity. On 217 samples from manufacturing and service organizations, the study has found that outcome interdependence mediated the relationship between empowering leadership and knowledge identification, knowledge assimilation, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge application. The findings show that members’ empowerment is essential for inducing them to engage in knowledge processes.
Effectiveness Of Group Interventions For Depressed Iranian Migrants In Austria, Atefeh Fathi, Walter Renner, Barbara Juen
Effectiveness Of Group Interventions For Depressed Iranian Migrants In Austria, Atefeh Fathi, Walter Renner, Barbara Juen
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Effectiveness of Group based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was investigated in a sample of 23 Iranian migrants living in Austria for an average 14 years and suffering from Major Depressive Disorder. The participants were randomized to: (1) individual CBT, (2) group based CBT and (3) wait-list control groups. Although the results showed a significant decrease in depression symptoms, no significant group differences were observed. The findings from this study suggest that the effectiveness of group based CBT may be influenced by Iranian socio-cultural characteristics.
Intercultural Competences And Self-Identity As Key Factors To Adaptation, Carmen Carmona, Karen I. Van Der Zee, Jan Pieter Van Oudenhoven, Nerea Hernaiz-Agreda
Intercultural Competences And Self-Identity As Key Factors To Adaptation, Carmen Carmona, Karen I. Van Der Zee, Jan Pieter Van Oudenhoven, Nerea Hernaiz-Agreda
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Students increasingly cross borders to study in a foreign country and live a full experience abroad. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship among intercultural personality, self-identity orientation, and outcomes of cultural adaptation among international students. According to the multicultural personality questionnaire, five key dimensions lead to intercultural adaptation success: cultural empathy, open-mindedness, emotional stability, social initiative, and flexibility. In addition, another relevant factor is that individuals frame situations differently depending on how they construe or represent themselves in a specific context. Thus, we consider three related identity orientations (i.e., personal, relational, and collective identity) …
The Racism, Acceptance, And Cultural-Ethnocentrism Scale (Races): Measuring Racism In Australia, Kaine Grigg, Lenore Manderson
The Racism, Acceptance, And Cultural-Ethnocentrism Scale (Races): Measuring Racism In Australia, Kaine Grigg, Lenore Manderson
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
No existing scale has been designed for, and validated in, the Australian context which can objectively evaluate the levels of general racist attitudes in Australian individuals or groups. Existing Australian measures of racist attitudes focus on single groups or have not been validated across the lifespan. Without suitable instruments, racism reduction programs implemented in Australia cannot be appropriately evaluated and so cannot be judged to be making a meaningful difference to the attitudes of the participants. To address the need for a general measure of racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious acceptance, an Australian scale was developed and validated for use …
Reasons For The Deteriorating Relationship Between The Local People Of Mumbai And The Bihari Migrants, Jyoti Verma
Reasons For The Deteriorating Relationship Between The Local People Of Mumbai And The Bihari Migrants, Jyoti Verma
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The paper deals with the ‘reasons’ behind the deteriorating relationship between the Bihari migrants and the local people of Mumbai from a larger project on the topic. The main sample comprised of 307 people (152 Bihari migrants and 155 local people of Mumbai). Additionally, 50 respondents participated into 8 focus group discussions and 17 were interviewed. Both the qualitative and quantitative methods were used for data collection. Two similar, but not identical versions of the main questionnaire were developed, one for each group whose Part III addressed the ‘reasons’ issue. Qualitative data were generated with the help of an open-ended …
How Does Income Inequality Get Under The Skin? The Mediating Role Of Perceived Age Discrimination In The Inequality- Health Nexus For Older And Younger People, Christin-Melanie Vauclair, Sibila Marques, Maria Luísa Lima, Dominic Abrams, Hannah Swift, Christopher Bratt
How Does Income Inequality Get Under The Skin? The Mediating Role Of Perceived Age Discrimination In The Inequality- Health Nexus For Older And Younger People, Christin-Melanie Vauclair, Sibila Marques, Maria Luísa Lima, Dominic Abrams, Hannah Swift, Christopher Bratt
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The relative income hypothesis predicts poorer health in societies with greater income inequality, yet the psychological mechanisms that explain this association are not clear to date. This study tests the hypothesis that perceived age discrimination acts as a mediator in the inequality-health nexus for people who categorize themselves as old. It is expected that the detrimental mediating effect of perceived age discrimination does not occur for those who categorize themselves as young, since their low status is only temporary until they move to the higher status middle-aged group. A cross-sectional multilevel analysis of the 2008/09 European Social Survey (ESS, Round …
Who I Am Depends On Where I Am: The Impact Of A Sojourn On Home And Host Country Identity, Regina Arant, Thomas Kühn, Klaus Boehnke
Who I Am Depends On Where I Am: The Impact Of A Sojourn On Home And Host Country Identity, Regina Arant, Thomas Kühn, Klaus Boehnke
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Acculturation research convincingly demonstrates that moving to a foreign country may not only cause adaptive changes in an individual’s home country identity but may as well initiate the identification with the receiving society. Nevertheless, the knowledge on how identity formation is influenced by the migration process itself and in how far it may differ for temporary migrants, such as sojourners, is still fragmented. Therefore, this paper aims at extending the existing research by applying a longitudinal mixed methods approach; 176 German high school students were surveyed before, during and after spending one year in the US. Analyses reveal that, in …
The Experience Of Skilled Migrant Women In Switzerland: Challenges For Social And Professional Integration, Juliana Nunes-Reichel, Marie Santiago-Delefosse
The Experience Of Skilled Migrant Women In Switzerland: Challenges For Social And Professional Integration, Juliana Nunes-Reichel, Marie Santiago-Delefosse
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Recent studies on migrants’ social and professional integration in Switzerland indicate that migrant women are the most vulnerable group. Researches highlight the “deskilling power” of migration but tend to focus on a descriptive level, without considering the influence of context and the heterogeneity of migrants’ experiences. This qualitative study aims to investigate the meaning of migration and integration process from participants’ point of view: their challenges, strategies and the impact of the migration experience on self-image. Semi-structured interviews (n = 30) were conducted with two groups of skilled migrant women: group one are skilled women who migrated through the invitation …
Cognitive Interview As An Effective Method In Cross-Cultural Research: A Study Of Organizational Leaders In Sweden And India, Urmi Nanda Biswas, Karin Allard, Annika Härenstam, Anders Poussette
Cognitive Interview As An Effective Method In Cross-Cultural Research: A Study Of Organizational Leaders In Sweden And India, Urmi Nanda Biswas, Karin Allard, Annika Härenstam, Anders Poussette
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This research attempts to demonstrate the effectiveness of cognitive interview (CI) techniques in the process of finalizing the survey instrument by establishing the conceptual equivalence of ethical values among managers from Sweden and India, from four different sectors namely, Corporate, Health, Education and Information Technology. CI was helpful in identifying items, which were difficult to answer or to understand, and with improper response categories. The results provided substantive insight into the cultural influence in the understanding of various values in the organizations. The paper highlights the types and applications of CI in different fields of the study of human behavior.
Toward The Theoretical Constructs Of East Asian Cultural Psychology, Weijun Ma, Rui Feng, Rui Hu, Juzhe Xi, Edward Fox, Xia Ding
Toward The Theoretical Constructs Of East Asian Cultural Psychology, Weijun Ma, Rui Feng, Rui Hu, Juzhe Xi, Edward Fox, Xia Ding
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The core values of traditional Chinese Confucian culture such as “five virtues”, “five cardinal relationships”, and the thought of “golden mean” exert significant influence on East Asian culture, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures. In recent years, with the rapid development of the studies of cultural psychology in East Asian cultural circles, it is necessary to conduct the theoretical constructs to integrate the common psychological characteristics in East Asian cultural circle. The theoretical constructs of East Asian Cultural Psychology regard the impacts of traditional Confucian culture on East Asian culture and the individual as its core, and focus on self-construal, …
Culture + Behaviour + Comparison = Cross-Cultural Psychology, John W. Berry
Culture + Behaviour + Comparison = Cross-Cultural Psychology, John W. Berry
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
For many years I have advocated the view that cross-cultural psychology should have the following characteristics: it begins with an ethnographic search to select those settings that may provide the cultural and ecological contexts that are theoretically-relevant to the development of the particular behaviour of interest; this is followed by advancing hypotheses that link the context to the behaviour; then fieldwork is undertaken to further examine these cultural attributes, and to carry out the assessment of the behaviour of individuals. These activities are carried out across contexts for three reasons: (i) in order to gain sufficient variation in the cultural …
