Abstract:A paradigm shift in social sciences in the 1960s produced recognition among psychologists of the importance of culture in understanding and explaining human behavior and experiences. Ethnography has acquired an interesting place in psychological research in a variety of areas, including research with the goals of exploring cultural meanings of selfhood, wellbeing, identity and other experiences that may be culturally unique and rendered intelligible only within the specific sociocultural context.
