Riassunto

This second edition of the best selling textbook Cross-Cultural Psychology has been substantially revised to provide the student with the most comprehensive overview of cross-cultural psychology available in one volume. The team of internationally acclaimed authors have included the most up-to-date research in the field and written two new chapters on language and on emotion. Within a universalistic framework the book emphasises not only research on basic processes and theory, but also methodology and applications of cross-cultural psychology with respect to acculturation, organisational processes, communication, health and national development. The new format of the book is designed to make it even more accessible and reader-friendly and includes chapter outlines, chapter summaries, further reading and a glossary of key terms.

Recensione:

"They have done it again! Berry and colleagues have provided university teachers and their advanced students with unquestionably the best single volume in cross-cultural psychology. This updated text wisely integrates extensive thought and research of the past ten years with those of the forty preceding years. The result is both a stellar overview of the field and the first place to go in beginning particular focused studies. The authors provide a shelf full of books in a single tome, helping to overcome divisive sectarian differences among scholars and reminding us that expanded knowledge entails a responsibility to address national and global concerns over cultural differences." Robert C. Weigl, Ph.D., George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia

"An excellent resource...The combination of high-quality information, effective design, and easy-to-read style make the text ideal for a variety of workplace and classroom applications, and it should be considered a must-read for individuals with an interest in culture and communication." Technical Communication, Kirk St.Amant
