cultural psychology  

Definition(s)

  • Cultural psychology is the study of how one's culture affects one's mind: how one thinks and reasons, what one feels, perceives, and attends to, and how one interprets the world. Cultural psychology has emerged as an important field of psychological research as more studies have found that theories of psychology developed in the West and thought to be universal do not generalize well to other cultures.
