Abstract

The concept of culture has come to the forefront of social-science and social policy to address issues of human diversity in psychological processes and performance. Debates about the role of culture in psychological processes have sparked a movement towards research that is directly applicable to social problems. A key challenge lies in how to reconcile community-specific applications with broader theories that guide research.
