“…In addition to participating in the original clinical study, both Gusti and Wayan agreed to be filmed as part of the first author’s ethnographic project exploring cultural aspects of neuropsychiatric disorder in Indonesia (Lemelson, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2011, 2013; Lemelson & Tucker, 2015a), which combined psychological and visual anthropology methods. This project used person-centered interviews, a central methodology in psychological anthropology which seeks to understand participants’ wishes, hopes, and desires by mobilizing psychoanalytic theory and method and conducting a textured analysis of phenomenology in relation to identity, personhood, and the self (Hollan, 1997; Levy & Hollan, 1998).…”

In the past two decades, ethnographic, epidemiological and interdisciplinary research has robustly established that culture is significant in determining the long-term outcomes of people with neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric and mood disorders. Yet these cultural factors are certainly not uniform across discrete individual experiences. Thus, in addition to illustrating meaningful differences for people with neuropsychiatric disorder between different cultures, ethnography should also help detail the variations within a culture. Different subjective experiences or outcomes are not solely due to biographical idiosyncrasies-rather, influential factors arising from the same culture can have different impacts on different people. When taking a holistic and intersectional perspective on lived experience, it is crucial to understand the interaction of these factors for people with neuropsychiatric disorders. This paper teases apart such interactions, utilizing comparative case studies of the disparate subjective experiences and illness trajectories of two Balinese people with Tourette syndrome who exhibit similar symptoms. Based on longitudinal person-centered ethnography integrating clinical, psychological, and visual anthropology, this intersectional approach goes beyond symptom interpretation and treatment modalities to identify gendered embodiment and marital practices as influenced by caste to be significant determinants in subjective experience and long-term outcome.

“…Many contributions to the study of culture emphasize the form, frequency, or intensity of a certain groups' behavior relative to other groups. Unfortunately, the relation between that groups' behavior and the environment in which they are situated is often relegated to the discussion section of a manuscript if addressed at all (Ryder and Chentsova-Dutton, 2015). In contrast, CBS emphasizes function over form, highlighting the role of environmental contingencies (i.e., antecedents and consequences).…”

A Contextual Behavioral Account of Culture: Example Implementation of a Functional Behavioral Approach to the Study of Cultural Differences in Social Anxiety

The current article proposes integrating a functional behavior approach to the study of culture. After describing culture from a contextual behavioral science framework, we outline a three-step process to perform a functional behavior analysis of culture: (1) identifying potential contingencies, (2) determining functional relationships, and (3) gathering supporting evidence. As an example, we present each of the three steps through a re-analysis of data related to cultural differences in social anxiety between Japanese and European Americans as well as describe a hypothetical experiment. The results demonstrate how implementing an alternative framework that focuses on the relationship between behavioral function and environmental adaptability leads to different conclusions compared to implementing frameworks that emphasize the form or degree of a behavior or belief in one group compared to another. For this particular example, in contrast to viewing social anxiety in Japanese as something stemming from innate beliefs about themselves and others (e.g., self-construal), the current study suggests that displaying social anxiety in some situations within a Japanese context is more functionally adaptive (e.g., more likely leads to desirable outcomes) than within a European American context.
