Vision of an Integrative Indian Psychology
Responses to Actual, Perceived and Imagined Scarcities
Making more money is the most dominant response to cope with actual, perceived or imagined scarcities. For the poor, it is a means to survive in extremely adverse conditions and to struggle to cross over the poverty line into the lower middle class; for the affluent middle class, it is a way to catch up with and overtake friends, relatives and neighbours by being able to have more expensive possessions and exciting experiences; and for the super-…
Living and Doing Psychology
As I look back at about 45 years of my research journey, I see three somewhat overlapping phases showing that my research has co-evolved with the way I have related to my milieu. The first 15 years witnessed my struggle to outgrow the alien framework by conducting research that, I thought, addressed the most salient socio-cultural issues in the Indian context with the methods that seemed to be the most appropriate. For the next 15 years, I tried …

Facets of Societal and Organisational Cultures and Managers' Work Related Thoughts and Feelings
The study is part of the ongoing efforts to identify the dimensions of societal and organisational cultures, the impact of the former on the latter, and their combined influence on managers' work related thoughts and feelings. A sample of 674 middle level managers at seven locations in India responded to a questionnaire that was developed from the items that samples of managers had provided in the first phasr of the study.

Methodology for Understanding Indian Culture
Methods of understanding cultures, including Indian culture, are embedded in a broad spectrum of sociocultural approaches to human behavior in general. The approaches examined in this paper reflect evolving perspectives on Indian culture, ranging from the starkly ethnocentric to the largely eclectic and integrative. Most of the methods herein discussed were developed in the West and were subsequently taken up with or without adaptations to fit th…
A Cultural Frame for Understanding Organisational Behaviour
Indian work organisations are subjected to both traditional Indian and western cultural influences. Because of its historicity and oral tradition, the former leads to primary while the latter to secondary modes of expressing values. The choice of either of the modes or their combinations depends on a context which is postulated to have three components: desh (ecology), kal (time), and patra (persons). Many of the seemingly contradictory and incon…
Organizational Culture and Human Resource Management Practices
The Model of Culture Fit postulates that the sociocultural environment affects the internal work culture, which in turn influences human resource management practices. This model was tested by two independent cross-cultural studies comparing Indian and Canadian managers and employees. In assessing sociocultural environment and internal work culture, the "participant" technique was used in Study 1 (the respondents indicated their own beliefs and a…
Multimethod Probes of Allocentrism and Idiocentrism
Collectivism and individualism are cultural syndromes that have some common cores. Allocentrism and idiocentrism are constructs at the individual level that correspond to collectivism and individualism respectively at the cultural level. In two studies, the first with American (from Illinois) and the second with Japanese subjects, we examined the best way to measure these common cores. We also present the recommended items in two appendices, and …
Regional Similarities and Differences in People's Beliefs, Practices and Preferences
Seven hundred fifty-three students from seven cities of India reported: (a) their perception of what people in general believe, practise and prefer (i.e., operative values); (b) their own allocentric and idiocentric orientations; (c) the extent to which they attached importance to other's (over their own) opinions, desires and interests; and (d) their age, gender, caste, class and urban exposure. The significant mean differences between the seven…
The Bulk and the Front of Psychology in India
Indian psychology has been rapidly expanding. The number of psychologists, institutions offering courses in psychology, research publications, and journals are increasing. However, the bulk of research remains replicative and imitative. There is a slow and gradual increase in problem-oriented and culture sensitive research carried out by a small minority of front runners who are constrained by the lack of intellectual and professional support, in…
An Etic-Emic Analysis of Individualism and Collectivism
An analysis of the responses of 1,614 subjects from 10 cultures shows that the Leung Bond procedure provides illuminating ways of extracting both strong (Separation From In-Groups, Independence, and Personal Competence) and weak (Task Orientation) eticsrelevant to individualism, and weak etics (Dependence on Others, Sociability) relevant to collectivism. Additional richness in the available information is provided when intracultural factor analys…

The measurement of the etic aspects of individualism and collectivism across cultures
The dimension of individualism-collectivism, as identified by Hofstede (1980), was studied using items developed both theoretically and emically in nine diverse cultures. The dimension was found to be analysable into four stable etic factors: Individualism had two aspects (Separation from Ingroups and Self-Reliance with Hedonism) and collectivism had two aspects (Family Integrity and Interdependence with Sociability). These four factors are ortho…
Perceptual Structuring Of Dyadic Interactions
This study examines the hypotheses that (1) Indians, compared to Americans, tend to structure interpersonal relations hierarchically, and (b) they are more global in their perception of task, self, and others. Discussing and Completing a socially relevant situational scale were 22 American and 40 Indian dyads of non-friends. Afterwards, they completed a questionnaire that measured their perceptions of each other and of the task interactions. The …
