Integrating the Emic (Indigenous) with the Etic (Universal)—A Case of Squaring the Circle or for Adopting a Culture Inclusive Action Theory Perspective
The dualism of emic and etic plays a crucial role in the emergence of three culturally informed approaches of psychology: cross‐cultural psychology ( CCP ), cultural psychology ( CP ) and indigenous psychologies ( IPs ), a distinction largely accepted nowadays. Similarities and/or differences between these positions are usually discussed either on the level of phenomena (data) or theory. In this paper, however, the discussion takes place on a met…
Towards the Dismantlement of an Ahistorical Developmental Psychology
Action Theory, Control and Motivation
This symposium includes reactions to action theory from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Eckensberger and Meacham provide a framework for discussion, defining intentional action as a basic unit of analysis that includes being future-oriented, a free choice of means, potential consciousness of goals and means, and responsibility. Boesch argues that cognitive and affective systems do not develop in parallel, and that affects serve a communica…
Kultur — Handlung — Demokratie
Der Band dokumentiert die Beiträge des Symposiums „Kultur – Handlung – Demokratie“. Die Autoren vertreten primär einen kulturwissenschaftlichen Ansatz, beleuchten den Zusammenhang von Kultur, Handlung und Demokratie aus inhaltlich verschiedenen Blickwinkeln und unterschiedlichen methodologischen und theoretischen Schwerpunktsetzungen. Die Beiträge spiegeln Forschungsansätze aus der Perspektive der Soziologie, Kulturpsychologie, Entwicklungspsycho…

Between Culture and Biology
Between Culture and Biology breaks away from the traditional nature/nurture dialectic and brings together biological, psychological and cultural perspectives on development. In this thought-provoking book, the argument is put forward that the biological bases of behaviour and cultural context should be approached in an integrated fashion to properly understand ontogenetic development and that both the cultural and biological demain provide constr…
The Legacy of Boesch's Intellectual Oeuvre
The article serves as an introduction to Boesch's theory from the personal point of view of an author who has interacted with Boesch for a long time. First, three roots of Boesch's enterprise are located (Boesch's clinical work, his interest in contexts, and his own scientific heritage), and their implications for his theoretical framework are drawn. In a second section the intrinsic relationship among some of Boesch's key concepts is illustrated…
Activity or Action
Michael Cole's conception of a cultural psychology which is rooted in Russian activity theory is discussed from the perspective of action theory which also aims at an integration of culture into psychology but does so by slightly different concepts. Beyond the shared divergence from classical cross-cultural psychology there are many similarities between activity and action theory, but differences also exist
A Bridge Between Theory and Practice, Between General Laws and Contexts
On the basis of informal content analysis of the deliberations and materials of two international conferences the author identifies (a) the capacity to resolve theory-practice tension, and (b) the flexibility of the conceptual system needed to subsume changes at both individual and social levels, and represent idiosyncratic and aggregate experiences as the critical dimensions determining the application value of cross-cultural theories for the Th…
