Editorial Reviews
Review
Ganie DeHart, SUNY Genesco: "I found it to be the best of the various cross-cultural textbooks I've used over the years. I have been teaching this course for 16 years, and I've probably used every undergraduate cross-cultural textbook that has come out during that time."
Joy Stratton, CSU Northridge: "It addresses all aspects of psychology instead of focusing on Abnormal Behavior or Treatments or focusing on just one definition of culture (e.g. race, gender)."
Nan Sussman, College of Staten Island: "Matsumoto and Juang is currently the most comprehensive and student-friendly textbook on the topic of culture and psychology." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Just letting everyone know...,
By Brittany (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Culture and Psychology (Paperback)
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.

Best cultural psychology textbook I have read,
By Max (Kissimmee, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Culture and Psychology (Paperback)
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).
