Understanding Cross-Cultural Psychology: Eastern and Western Perspectives

by Pittu D Laungani

This unique textbook eloquently introduces students to international perspectives on cross-cultural psychology (both Eastern and Western cultures), adopting a truly accessible narrative approach throughout. The main thrust of the book′s content is to discuss the framework of culture, family structure, health, and bereavement. Intercultural interaction―and all of their intersections―and consideration are also given to methodological and ethical research issues and their application to differing cultures.

A thorough read on Cross-Cultural Psychology, but it has the tendency to resonate late 90s research. I would say that despite it, it is mostly scientific. Also, the author is a big fan of Shakespeare's, especially Hamlet - it's good to come across rare quotes from time to time; but it all seems very British, tbh.

Very interesting! Written by a Indian man who compares societies - his take in interesting!
