Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Assembles varied perspectives and explores the many applications of cultural studies on traditional psychological theory. Some chapters provide a thorough reexamination of fundamental psychological subjects, such as personality, by infusing them with a cross-cultural perspective. Other chapters consider topics that naturally lend themselves to inspection through cross-cultural lenses, such as immigration and multinational enterprises. Adler directs the Institute for Cross-Cultural and Cross-Ethnic Studies at Molloy College. Gielen directs the Institute for International and Cross-Cultural Psychology at St. Francis College.
