| Description: | Reflecting author Çigdem Kagitcibasi’s influential work over the last
two decades, this new edition examines human development, the self, and
the family in a cultural context. It challenges the existing
assumptions in mainstream western psychology about the nature of
individuals. The author proposes a new model—the “Autonomous-Related
Self”—which expands on existing theory by demonstrating how culture
influences self development. The development of competence is examined
from a contextual perspective, with a view towards global urbanization
which is creating increasingly similar lifestyles around the world. The
implications of this perspective are discussed extensively,
particularly early intervention policy implications related to
promoting human competence in immigration and acculturation. Rich in
both theory and application, each topic is introduced with a historical
antecedent and earlier research before current work is discussed. |
