Yet, it has already had an important impact on mainstream psychology, particularly by giving voice to indigenous conceptualizations of human nature and by spear heading the search for a more global and inclusive psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by some of the best known cross-cultural psychologists from around the world, the original essays gathered here deal variously with theoretical aspects, methodological alternatives, issues of social concern, and practical applications in contemporary psychology. Between them, they cover cultural psychology, cultural anthropology, evolutionary psychology and indigenous psychology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her introduction, the editor presents an over-arching view of contemporary schools of thought in human development and argues that it is both possible and desirable to promote meaningful interfaces between them so as to evolve a holistic perspective on human development. The essays that follow are divided into two sections: the first contains theoretical perspectives with some reference to methodological issues while the second covers research and application. In many cases, the authors draw upon and take forward work they have been doing for a long time; in others, new ideas and insights have been introduced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGathering together high quality conceptual work with diverse yet complementary perspectives, this rich and significant volume will be of considerable interest to students and scholars in the fields of cross-cultural psychology, developmental psychology, human development, cultural anthropology and early childhood education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume makes a powerful contribution to the internationalization of life cycle psychology.\u003cbr\u003e-Uwe P Gielen (from the Foreword)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Tables\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART I: THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEcocultural Perspective on Human Psychological Development\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWanted: A Contextualized Psychology: Plea for a Cultural Psych\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Eminent Contributors \/ Sage Publications \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153667518832,"sku":"12332","price":35.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/12332.jpg?v=1793912346","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/cross-cultural-perspectives-in-human-development-theory-research-and-applications","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
