Free Download Cultural Psychology: An Introduction
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3658451548 | 442 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 5.2 MB
The introductory book presents the current state of cultural psychology in terms of theoretical approaches and methods comprehensively. It also demonstrates how deeply it is anchored in various fields of action. Cultural psychology is an interdisciplinary field of research that aims less to objectively and causally explain human behavior and experience, but rather seeks to understand psychological phenomena in their respective sociocultural context. In doing so, it follows a theoretical understanding of humans as actively acting beings. Compared to the prevailing nomothetic-oriented psychology, it emphasizes different theoretical and methodological approaches, particularly highlighting intentionality, meaning structuring, and ultimately the cultural aspects of human existence. Cultural psychology incorporates both hermeneutic approaches from psychology, philosophy, sociology, and ethnology, as well as qualitative methods for studying human behavior and experience.
