Steven J. Heine, a leading figure in cultural psychology, offers the first contemporary, broad-based global treatment of this exciting field.
Writing in a clear and engaging voice, Professor Heine builds his text around many of psychology's most enduring questions about our identities, motivations, emotions, and relationships. The text incorporates examples from around the world and from everyday life to make the material relevant to a wide range of students. Research methods are emphasized throughout in order to demonstrate how cultural psychologists study the close-knit relationship between culture and the ways we think and behave. Three unique chapters bring an interdisciplinary dimension to the text, examining cultural evolution, mental health, and morality from the perspective of cultural psychology.

An excellent review,
By
This review is from: Cultural Psychology (Paperback)
The books about biological basis of behavior are presently very popular. However, this book shows how interesting and important cultural differences are. Though this book is scientifically up-to-date, it is clearly written and relativelly easy for those, too, who have only a little knowledge of psychology. To give an example: though happiness does have a marked genetic component, the differences between countries are very large. Silmilarly many common psychological disorders in Western countries are quite rare in some other parts of the world. I recommend this book highly. This is also an excellent course book for any university or college.
