The Ascent of Cross-Cultural Psychology

This article seeks to provide a summary of the main influences that led to its founding, and the events and activities that followed. In this article, we search for the many relationships between cultural and behavioral phenomena, beginning around the turn of…

Self-Perceived Teacher Efficacy around the World
The topic of teacher efficacy has always been an important area to research on. Different studies have shown the advantages of teachers having high efficacy; for example, they tend to stay in the career longer and students will achieve more when their teachers have high efficacy. This special issue investigates different antecedents that allow teachers to build this special efficacy, the level of teacher efficacy in different cultural settings, a…

Theoretical and Methodological Issues When Studying Culture
Introductory Psychology Texts and the Inclusion of Culture
This subunit and its future extensions are intended for use in courses of study that focus, either partially or completely, on psychology and culture. The content of these contributions are expected to be helpful to both teachers and students because they address the nature and scope of the inclusion of culture in basic psychology instruction – especially as it pertains to the coverage of culture in the ubiquitous (at least in the Western world) …

Handbook of multicultural perspectives on stress and coping
"Has the developing world developed modern concepts of stress? Are coping methods the same around the globe? Such questions are not simple to answer, and until recently, few knew to ask them. In recent years, Western psychologists have recognized that their prevailing views of psychology do not always translate worldwide--and that no culture has a monopoly on either stress or coping. The Handbook of Multicultural Perspectives on Stress and Coping…
Helfrich’s ‘Principle of Triarchic Resonance’
The so-called etic–emic ‘dilemma’ has been pervasive, tenacious and constantly debatable in cross-cultural psychology ever since the terms were borrowed from the field of psycholinguistics and introduced to culture-comparative research in the 1960s. However, neither then nor now has there been a clear and completely useful differentiation between ‘etic’ and ‘emic’ perspectives. Furthermore, the etic–emic distinction, seemingly omnipresent in theo…

The Cross-Cultural Perspective in the Study of Personality
In this article, we examine the rationale for cross-cultural studies of personality, (including the search for cultural universals). Note the uncertain cross-cultural relevance of mainstream personality theories, and address current cross-cultural research on the following personality-relevant topics: personality structure and assessment, implications of individualism-collectivism for traits and their measurement, values and beliefs, emotions and…

Cross-Cultural Competence
A Decade of Cross-Cultural Psychology
The 347 articles published in JCCP during its first full decade are assessed on a number of dimensions. The primary dimensions are (1) citizenship of authors, (2) culture or ethnic groups studied, and (3) psychological topics which were the foci in the research. This analysis forms the basis for an extensive editorial report. It is assumed that this summary of the decade will be of interest to the readers of JCCP, and that the data and various tr…
Issues in Testing and Assessment in Cross-Cultural Counseling
A survey of several major issues and problems associated with testing and assessment across cultural or ethnic boundaries is presented. Included, for example, are brief discussions of such issues as levels of equivalence, nonverbal communication, expectations and beliefs, client-counselor similarities, test bias, and response styles. The presentation is intended for counselors who are not very familiar with either cross-cultural methodological pr…
A Bibliometric Analysis of the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology
Bibliometric statistics concerning the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology (JCCP) over the period 1977-1993 are reported. Compared to other journals on cross-cultural psychology, the impact factor of JCCP has been fairly high over this 17-year period. The average impact factor ofjournals publishing exclusively or mainly cross-cultural studies is stable. The overall numbers of journals that are quoted in JCCP is high, yet most references (apart f…

The Influence of Television on Measured Cognitive Abilities
In 1979 and again in 1982 data were collected in rural Alaska to assess certain effects of commercial entertainment television, which began in 1977 in selected rural sites. The findings reported here include two major culture groups: the northern Inupiat Eskimo (four villages) and the southwestern Tlingit and Haida (two villages). In 1979, half of the villages had received television for two years; by 1982 all villages had reception capabilities,…

A Transnational Comparison of Individual Birth Planning Decisions for Hypothetical Families
College students in West Germany, the Netherlands, India, and the United States made birth-planning "decisions" for forty hypothetical family situations. The situations depicted eight familial characteristics which could be descriptive of families in any country where there is monogamous marriage, where it is expected that the husband (father) should be the major provider, and where the wife (mother) should be chiefly responsible for activities i…
