“…In the context of these abstract and remote concepts and things, one's body might have naturally seemed more central to one's sense of self. Moreover, this study seems not to have been inclusive of consumers imbued with the Eastern philosophy of body/soul dualism (Bharati, 1985;Page and Berkow, 1991). At any rate, no matter what the respondent population, a mean score of 2.98 (which would disallow known variations in consumers' obsessions with their body image) can mean only that the respondents were rating the body parts as part and parcel of self only in a physical sense.…”

Consumer research literature has recognized the consumers' use of products and brands as props to their self‐identity. While this literature has illuminated that products indeed serve to extend one's sense of self, the concept of ‘self’ itself is under‐identified. In this conceptual essay, we propose a set of components that make up one's sense of self. Then we identify processes through which possessions become associated with one's identity or self‐concept. We suggest the utility of using the proposed framework in practice for consumers' self‐concept profiles, and for linking brands to appropriate components of ‘self.’ Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Scholars from both the United States and the local regions have vehemently argued that counselling has to be indigenized to effectively serve people in their cultural and societal environments and that simply transferring information from the West to counselling practice in other cultures can be dangerous (Cheung, 2000;Pedersen, 2003). Given the fact that Western and Eastern cultures have significant differences in values, customs, and concept of self (Cheung, 2000;Page & Berkow, 1991), this need for indigenization is apparent and few would argue against it. However, at the present time, the answer to the 'what' and 'how to' questions is not completely evident.…”

“…Western Philosophy is known to be credited for the origin of Psychology so this paper will look in depth about the role of Eastern Philosophy as well Western Philosophy in the understanding of Psychology today. Some have also concluded that the field of psychology is no more than a cultural product of the Western world (Rozin,2003) and others encourage integration of the bodies of knowledge and acknowledge of mutual concern of the Western psychology and Eastern philosophies in understanding the thinking, feeling, experiencing and acting (Page & Berkow, 1991) Origin of Psychology…”

There is a widespread belief and allegation that Psychology is a Western product. This paper examines this allegation looking at its philosophical origin, scientific advancement and contemporary development. The Western perspective on Psychology is contrasted against Eastern perspective. The paper reviewed several literatures on the history and advancement of Psychology. It also reviewed the literatures on indigenous and multicultural psychology. The paper concluded that until 20th century Psychology was exclusively Western product. The recent emphasis on the role of culture in human psychology has given the space for Eastern perspective. We can be hopeful that Psychology will be more inclusive, diverse and global in future.
