Health and Cross-Cultural Psychology

by Pierre R. Dasen, John W. Berry, and Norman Sartorius

Published 3 June 1988

Health, in the sense of `quality of life` rather than `absence of disease′, is a universal goal in spite of cultural variations in the way it is defined and achieved. This book provides material from cross-cultural psychology for application in the development of a healthy society. Health and Cross-Cultural Psychology, while it points to leads for action, is not designed as a book of recipes - rather it summarizes the relevant research findings and scrutinizes the methodology through which they were established. Where necessary, the contributors focus on the need and direction for future research.

Field Methods in Cross-Cultural Research

by Walter J. Lonner and John W. Berry

Published 14 January 1987

Lonner and Berry have provided field workers - both those already in the field and those contemplating going into the field - with a handy, comprehensive, practical and up-to-date guide. It is an exhaustive statement of epistemological and methodological issues; a review of what has succeeded for many and failed for others; and an overview of common interests and questions that occur during the cross-cultural research project.
