Understanding the Software of the Mind, Self and Culture: The Scientific Foundation of Indigenous and Cultural Psychology
The understanding of the nature and the software of the mind has generated immense debate in religion, philosophy, sciences and psychology. Drucker notes that the basic assumption about the reality is the foundation for science, axiom and algorithm adopted for the theory, concept and method. The assumption differentiates what is important from what is noise. In the medieval Europe, the Catholic Church provided a unified theory of the world as a r…
Economic Development, Sociocultural Change and Quality of Life in Korea: Analysis of Three Generations Growing up in Colonial, Industrial and Digital Age
The article reviews key questions that are central to developing countries and provide a case study of South Korea (abbreviated as Korea): How could one of the poorest country in the world transform to become the 10th largest economy in the world? What are the psychological, relational, social and cultural impact of rapid economic development in Korea? How do these factors influence the subjective well-being, quality of life and happiness among t…
Cross-Cultural Dimensions of Meaning in the Evaluation of Events in World History: Perceptions of Historical Calamities and Progress in Cross-Cultural Data From Thirty Societies
The universality versus culture specificity of quantitative evaluations (negative-positive) of 40 events in world history was addressed using World History Survey data collected from 5,800 university students in 30 countries/societies. Multidimensional scaling using generalized procrustean analysis indicated poor fit of data from the 30 countries to an overall mean configuration, indicating lack of universal agreement as to the associational mean…
Relationships between stage of change for stress management behavior and perceived stress and coping: Stage and perceived stress and coping
The main aim of this study was to examine the relationships between stage of change, which was guided by the transtheoretical model, for stress management behavior and perceived stress and coping. First, we developed the Korean version of the Rhode Island Stress and Coping Inventory (RISCI). Second, we related stage of change for stress management behavior to perceived stress and coping. Based on two surveys that we conducted (n = 530 for survey …

Indigenous and cultural psychology: Understanding People in Context
Surveys psychological and behavioral phenomena in native context in various developing and developed countries, with focus on Asia. This work clarifies culture-specific concepts (such as paternalism and the Japanese concept of amae), and models integrative methods of study. It aims to dispel typical misconceptions about the field and its goals.
Intergenerational Support: Psychological and Cultural Analyses of Korean and German Women
In this study, adult daughters from an East Asian culture (South Korea: N = 398) and a western culture (Germany: N = 313) were compared with respect to the extent and the direction of intergenerational support, the associations between value orientations, relationship quality and intergenerational support, and with respect to the meaning of perceived reciprocity within these processes. Results showed a more extensive exchange of support in the Ko…

Culture and Context-sensitive Self: The Amount and Meaning of Context-sensitivity of Phenomenal Self Differ Across Cultures
Self-concepts change from context to context. The experience that one's self is context-sensitive may be universal, however the amount and meaning of context-sensitive self vary across cultures. Cross-cultural differences in the amount and meaning of context-sensitive self were investigated in three Western cultures (Australia, Germany, and UK) and two East Asian cultures (Japan and Korea). The amount of context-sensitivity of self was greater in…
Culture, essentialism, and agency: Are Individuals Universally Believed to Be More Real Entities Than Groups
Are human individuals universally seen to be more real entities (or more entitative, to use Campbell's, 1958, term) than social groups? Although the individual may be seen to be more entitative than social groups in the West, it is unclear whether this is the case in other cultures, especially in East Asia. Two aspects of perceived entitativity are distinguished: psychological essentialism (belief in the presence of essence-like unchangeable prop…
Culture and Deception in Business Negotiations: A Multilevel Analysis
This article investigates the relationship between culture, personality, and deception in a simulated international management negotiation at multiple levels of analysis. `Deception' was operationalized here as the propensity to lie and bribe. As predicted, at the cultural level the results from a scenario study with 1583 participants from eight cultures suggested that cultural collectivism was positively related to reported use of deception in n…
The Challenge of Cross-Cultural Psychology: The Role of the Indigenous Psychologies
This article outlines the indigenous psychologies approach within the context of three research traditions in cross-cultural psychology: the universalist, contextualist, and integrationist approaches. The first section outlines the limitations of the universalist and contextualist approaches. The second section overviews the two integrationist approaches: the derived etics approach and the indigenous psychologies approach. In comparison to the fo…
Culture, gender, and self: A perspective from individualism^collectivism research
Individualism and collectivism are often equated with independent vs. interdependent, agentic vs. communal, and separate vs. relational self-construals. Although these same concepts have been used to characterize both cultural and gender differences, a perspective of cultural evolution suggests it is unlikely. A division of labor within society may produce gender differences, but this cannot explain cultural differences. A study of self-construal…

Comparative Studies of Acculturative Stress

Comparative Studies of Acculturative Stress
A series of studies of acculturative stress is reported, involving immigrants, refugees, Native peoples, sojourners and ethnic groups in Canada. Acculturative stress is defined as a reduction in health status (including psychological, somatic and social aspects) of individuals who are undergoing acculturation, and for which there is evidence that these health phenomena are related systematically to acculturation phenomena. A theoretical model and…
Are the Rules of Address Universal: III: Comparison of Chinese, Greek, and Korean Usage
Our basic questions were: Does the alleged universality of Brown's invariant norm of address (1965) extend to Korean usage, and is the structure of address exchange cross-culturally similar for Korean, Greek, and Chinese speakers? To answer the first question, 73 Korean speakers from both Korea and Canada reported actual address usage received from and sent to 34 categories of interactants. Their answers were coded in terms of three quantitative …
