Pursuit of Meaning – Advances in Cultural and Cross–Cultural Psychology (Paperback)

The fields of cross-cultural and cultural psychology each acknowledge the role "culture" plays for the establishment of a meaningful practice. Yet, there are notable differences between experimental, cross-cultural, and interpretive cultural psychologies. Contributions to this book discuss recent theoretical and methodological approaches from both fields, as a means to explore their combined potential for the advancement of the concept of culture, the theoretical conceptualization and methodical completion of comparative cultural studies, and the scientific understanding of cultural difference.
