A very objective, insightful look into the culture and psychology of different cultures. Well written, and uses good citations. Focuses a lot on the differences of individualistic cultures versus collectivistic cultures. Some people consider this an overgeneralization, however, since the Western culture is Individualistic, it provides practical explanations and insights as to why other cultures seem so foreign to us (asian cultures, arabic cultures, etc).

Just letting everyone know, there are a lot of changes between the older edition and the newer edition. Normally I am able to use older edition textbooks for classes, but not this one! The chapters changed and there are a lot more updated studies not part of this book.

Typical psychology text. Good & interesting info, yet disturbingly wordy. APA should make limiations on how much you can fatten up what could be a brief senrence.

It was a requirement for my psychology class and I found it initially very interesting to see a book about culture & psychology. It was interesting but the studies at the end of the chapters were mostly related to Americans or Asians, less Europeans. So one still has to reasearch to get a broader audience to find appropriate studies in addition of using this book. It was ok but not very exciting.

Books can be extremely expensive. But when I found this book it was so reasonable, and it came quickly. I ordered this after classes had started and I was in a time crunch but I received it on time.

The book does its job. My copy happens to be worn very badly, though. As far as putting culture and psychology together, this is a basic overview of it.

The book came in good condition, on time, its an ok book however it is a textbook for one of my courses, and its written like a text book so its nothing to rave about.
