“…In this paper, we refer to culture as patterns, behaviours, ideas and values [9] that are the products of experiences transmitted from past or current generations or from individuals themselves [10]. Understanding culture is a useful prelude to understanding how older LGBTI people's historical and contemporary experiences influence their behaviours, ideas and values.…”

“…In conclusion, it is important to recognize the inherent heterogeneity of cultural psychology. Going beyond the pristine processor models of much of mainstream psychology and the fax models of cultural communication of earlier anthropological traditions (see discussion in D' Andrade 1984;Schwartz 1981), cultural psychology is seeking to develop approaches that treat agents and cultures as mutually interdependent. This involves understanding the differentiated and dynamic nature of cultural processes and ways that cultural meanings and practices interface with individual subjectivity and behavior.…”

“…Although cultural psychology represents an interdisciplinary enterprise, problems exist in the degree to which it is linked to work within mainstream psychology (Miller 1994a;Schwartz 1992). These problems are particularly marked in the case of recent ethnographically oriented research conducted within psychological anthropology.…”

Arguments are made in this commentary for the importance of integrating quantitative psychological and interpretive ethnographic methodologies in cultural psychology, and for overcoming the present insularity related to disciplinary affiliation of work within this tradition. Theoretical attention centers on the importance of cultural sensitivity, the compatibility of alternative empirical methodologies, and the pragmatic nature of explanation.ecent years have seen the reemergence of an interdisciplinary approach to culture and psychology, termed cultural psychology (Bruner 1990;Cole 1990; Miller 1997b; Shweder 1990; Wertsch 1995). 1 Central to this perspective is a view f culture and psychology as mutually constitutive. This approach recognizes that cultural meanings and practices are dependent on the subjectivity of particular communities of intentional agents, just as psychological processes and structures are understood to be patterned, in part, by sociocultural meanings and practices. Cultural psychologists maintain that understanding psychological processes requires crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries and attending to language and culture as well as to individual subjectivity and behavior. Heterogeneous in character, the perspective of cultural psychology has roots not only in research traditions that emphasize interpretive ethnographic methodologies, such JOAN MILLER is a research scientist in the Department of Psychology at Yale University. Ethos 25(2):164-176.

show abstract

“…As the anthropologist T. Schwartz observes, the dominant tendency is for psychologists to “… fail entirely to see the relevance of culture. It is as if others have culture while we have human nature” (Schwartz, 1992, p. 329). A sign of this type of stance is found in psychology textbooks, where the norm is for cultural considerations to be raised, if at all, only in a diversity sense.…”
