This pioneering book applies the techniques of cross-cultural research to a study of Indian society. The authors study in detail the pattern of psychological adaptation of three different tribal groups in the Indian state of Bihar which reflect different ecological adaptations, with resulting differences in settlement and occupation patterns.A wide range of cognitive behaviours in relation to the ecological engagements of these tribes is examined and a comparative analysis of the lifestyles of the three groups, their patterns of child socialization, and their experiences of and attitudes towards acculturation is offered.
