Behavior and the Brain
In this article, we employ a systems approach that crosses three levels of analysis—neurophysiology, psychology, and anthropology—to investigate the relationship between childhood experiences and adult skills. Our hypothesis is that early learning situations can result in neural entrainments, that have psychological consequences, some of which can later be reflected in a constellation of adult skills. This model can account for an association of …
Values and Change Over a Generation
This article presents the results of two semantic differential studies that focus on cultural values and modernization, which were carried out in Kelantan, Malaysia, first in 1969 and the second in 2001.The results of these quantitative psychological anthropology studies, complimented by more than 3 years of traditional fieldwork, provide a finely textured means to assess both the direction and the degree of sociocultural change in what has been …
Introduction
This introduction endeavors to place Anthony F. C. Wallace's contributions to psychological anthropology in historical and disciplinary context. His theoretical and methodological advances led to the emergence of a more empirically oriented field of endeavor that is more properly designated psychological anthropology, rather than culture and personality. The four articles that compose this issue make effective use of Wallace's conception of "orga…
Commentary
The Case for Complementarities
My presentation discusses the current circumstances and intellectual mission of the Society for Cross-Cultural Research. Our society examines both those qualities of humanity that are shared across cultures and those behavioral and cultural elements that are peculiar to certain traditions. I try to make a strong case that our multidisciplinary nature makes us particularly well suited to such research and to an inclusive strategy that embraces dif…
Dialogue on the Referendum to Rescind the AAA's Acceptance of the El Dorado Task Force Report
Toward More Holistic Explanations
Arguably, anthropologists and others can achieve a better sense of sociocultural process (how institutions interact with one another) by attending to mediating variables at the psychological level. A concern with lower level processes not only improves our under standing of higher level phenomena, but can also lead us to perceive important interrelationships that might otherwise be overlooked. This is particularly true in the arena of cross-cultu…
Mad Dogs, Englishmen and the Errant Anthropologist
Antonymy and Semantic Relations
There is an enduring debate concerning the degree to which linguis tic phenomena are culturally specific or universal. We review evi dence that suggests that many linguistic processes are cross-culturally common and likely to be a function of human physiology, but we also acknowledge strong evidence for particularistic linguistic phe nomena relating to content and communication context. In support of our position, we examine subject responses to …
The Coconut-Shell Clock
Kelantanese peasants of the Malay Peninsula maintain a traditional agrarian culture that treats time inexactly and as of less importance than many social considerations. Kelantanese are conscious of their lax treatment of time compared to western models and this consciousness furthers their awareness of their cultural identity. In addition to the issue of cultural identity, this paper examines those situations in which Kelantanese punctuality and…

Deviance, Labelling Theory and the Concept of Scale
While sociologists of various theoretical persuasions have tended to construct theories of deviance which neglect empirical, cross-cultural data, anthropologists have tended to focus on social norms and have (with rare exceptions) neglected the whole topic. Anthropologists' antidote to sociology's focus on complex societies may lie in the concept of societal scale, and its relationship to the per ception, conceptualization, and treatment of devia…
A Cross-Cultural Examination of Semantic Relations
This article reports on a cross-cultural investigation of semantic relations that examines the responses of subjects from 8 different cultures to 15 semantic relations. The semantic relations include antonyms, synonyms, class inclusion, and part-whole inclusion. These were chosen due to their use in prior research, and because linguists and cognitive psychologists regard them as linguistically important. Findings reveal significant cross-cultural…
Women, Stress, and Participation in Possession Cults
Kehoe and Giletti (1981) have argued that the preponderance of women as patients in curing ceremonies is best explained by a variety of dietary inadequacies, particularly by a deficiency of calcium, resulting in tetany, convulsions, hallucinations, and other disorders that could easily foster a belief that such individuals are possessed. They also discount the likelihood that psychological and social stress play a meaningful role in the manifesta…
Anthropology and Labeling Theory
Cross-cultural Perspectives on Middle-aged Women [and Comments and Replies]
Several exploratory cross-cultural studies have suggested that positive changes take place in the lives of women in non-Western societies as they age beyond the childbearing years. They are freed from a variety of restrictions. They are given authority over certain specified kinsmen, and they are provided with opportunities for achievement and recognition beyond the household. The fact that such changes are more dramatic in some societies than in…
Similarities and Differences in Meaning in Six Cultures
The present study explores use of multidimensional scaling to cross-cultural investigation involving six cultures and two categories varying in abstractness: animals and emotions. Cross-cultural agreement in the scaling solutions was quite high but highest for the Emotions category. Additionally, the solutions of both categories across cultures revealed details that reflected culture-specific meaning. Thus, the results demonstrate the utility of …
The Ideal and the Real
Kelantan Malay society exhibits several properties, such sa a bilateral social structure and unrestricted economic participation for both sexes, which tend to promote equality for women at the village level. At the same time Islam, introduced to the area 500 years ago, actively minimizes the status and rights of women. These contending influences promote the creation of a set of village level strategies for maintaining the letter of Islamic law w…
