ISBN: 1841699969 ISBN-13: 9781841699967 Publisher: Psychology Press OUR PRICE: $49.39 Product Type: Paperback Published: June 2006 Annotation: Indigenous psychologies are attempts to portray the concepts, and to present the evidence about, human behavior and experience from a point of view within the cultural traditions of the group. It takes a position that distances itself from a uniform (usually Western) psychology, and explores human psychological variation in its own cultural contexts. Indigenous psychologies provide important alternatives to the existing unitary psychology, but in their very diversity we may discover variations and communalities that could provide the basic material to create a more truly pan-human psychology. Thus, diversity in psychological knowledge may allow for the eventual development of a more representative psychology that will likely be very different from current conceptions of human behavior. |
