This field-leading text puts psychological theories and concepts into a cross-cultural framework that invites you to discover, question, challenge, and ultimately understand the relationship between culture and psychology through exploration of such topics as changing gender roles, sexuality, health, aggression, personality, and mate selection. It all adds up to a text that will leave you with a deeper, more complex understanding of the nature of culture, its relationship to psychological processes, and the differences and similarities between cultures in our increasingly globalized world.
