"In short, this book has some worthwhile chapters, highlightingstudies of importance in taking fuller account of culturalvariations in psychological phenomena." (Social PsychologicalReview, 2011) "Cross-Cultural Psychology will be of value not only tostudents of psychology and experienced psychologists, but also topractitioners and researchers in other disciplines where their workrequires them to relate to and understand people. As one of thechapter author's comments, 'increasingly, we hear that we areliving in a global community'. Psychology has surely to embody thecultural inclusiveness and sensitivity to reflect this inorder to respond to the challenges of living in and understandingthe greater multi-cultural community that is humanity."(Inclusion News, February 20110"In sum, this book containsan extraordinary mixture of the rich and stimulating and thepedestrian. The question arises for what kind of readership it isintended. The editorial introduction appears to assume that theprospective reader knows next to nothing about cross-culturalpsychology, Moreover the editor, in both his preface andafter-word, addresses 'the student reader', seeming to imply atext-book function." (Metapsychology, December 2010)"How can psychology teachers incorporate more global research andconcepts into their existing or new courses? For the growing numberof teachers who seek to do this, this reader is a timely gem.Editor Ken Keith is himself a master teacher, and his introductorychapter on cross-cultural psychology segues into 29 original essaysby some leading U.S. and non-USA contributors, covering a wideswath of 10 specialties--including social, developmental,cognition, gender. This cutting-edge volume seems well-suited tostand alone, or to complement a more traditional textbook forsurvey courses." --Harold Takooshian, Fordham University
