Call for Book Chapters: Handbook of Research on Cultural and Cross-cultural Psychology
In a human system, a major proportion of behavioural attributes and values are determined by respective culture and interaction with other cultures. Cultural and cross-cultural psychology has emerged as an interdisciplinary area that explores how a culture regulates society and its business, how cross-cultural interactions affect psychologies of individuals as well as societies, behavioural variability under various cultural conditions, and how to harmonize the cultural diversities. Organizationally and philosophically, cultural and cross-cultural psychology differs from other areas of social sciences. It is a common phenomenon that as people engaged with cultural practices, their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours come to reflect their cultural values and beliefs. As a process, people formulate, replicate, transform and/or transmit their cultural practices in their daily social and/or business interactions.
This proposed edited book ‘Handbook of Research on Cultural and Cross-cultural Psychology’ will start with the essentials of culture, its relationship with human psychology, and the origin of cultural and cross-cultural psychology. The book will be focused on dynamics that amplify knowledge, skills, and behaviours relevant to deal with different cultural and cross-cultural issues. It will consider the relationships between the cultural theory and practices, explaining what the character of these relationships might be? If these relationships matter, and if they exist, how and in what ways do they matter? All the prospective chapters are expected to suggest that ‘relevance’ and ‘being critical’ are qualities widely attributed to efforts that fill the gaps between theory and practice in cultural and cross-cultural psychology.
