Opis

The 10th Ontario Symposium on Personality and Social Psychology was held in 2002 on the topic of culture and social behavior. This book consists of the expanded and updated versions of papers presented initially at the conference. Though much of the research discusses East-West cultural differences and similarities, contributors also focus on how the East-West research can help in cross-cultural studies more generally. processes to broad level cultural syndromes that pervade social arrangements, laws, and public representations. Pioneers in the field of cross-cultural psychology present their work, along with those who represent some of the newer approaches to the study of culture. Culture and Social Behavior: The Ontario Symposium, Volume 10 also features: *chapters from leaders in the fields of social and personality psychology describing their research program on culture and social behavior; and *a concluding chapter discussing the state of the field, especially as it pertains to the contribution's. This volume appeals to social and personality psychologists, and cultural researchers (including those in psychology, anthropology, and sociology).
