Call for Publications
Theme: Research on Cultural and Cross-cultural Psychology
Publication: Edited Handbook
Deadline: 20.7.2021
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.
