The culmination of 15 years of research by a Turkish psychologist who was educated in the West, this volume examines both the theoretical and practical aspects of crosscultural psychology. It takes a contextualdevelopmentalfunctional approach linking the child, family, and society as they are embedded in culture. A refreshingly different view, the author presents a portrait of human development from 'the other side'from the perspective of the 'majority world.' In a world seemingly dominated by American psychology, she proposes the crosscultural orientation as a corrective to the cultureboundedness of much of EuroAmerican psychology.Analyzing human development in context while avoiding the pitfalls of extreme relativism, this work studies development with an inclusive, holistic, and ecological perspective, focusing on the development of the self and of competence. In so doing, it also attempts to combine cultural contextualism with universalistic standards and psychological processes. It proposes a theory of family change which challenges some commonly held modernization assumptions, and links theory and application while examining the role of psychology in inducing social change.
