Review

"Shiraev and Levy provide a scholarly analysis of cross-cultural psychology that is informative, intriguing, and enjoyable to read. Their descriptions of contemporary applications convey critically important insights for addressing intergroup conflicts and disparities." – Cheryl Koopman, Stanford University"Given the increasingly multicultural nature of modern societies, this insightful and mature excursion into the dynamics of cross-cultural psychology could not come at a more propitious time. This is important reading and highly recommended." – Jim Sidanius, Harvard University "The sixth edition of this classic textbook is a must-read for those in the fields of psychology and related social and behavioral sciences. It is an engaging and informative resource for anyone interested in learning how the intricate web of cultural customs, values, and norms permeate our lives and shapes us into who we are." – Denis Sukhodolsky, Yale University "I had the privilege to use this text in teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses. This text aims to spark the students’ motivation to learn about cultural contextual variables affecting human behavior, cognitions, and emotions. It offers a critical thinking paradigm and specific exercises, which are priceless in this field and could be applied in other subfields of psychology." – Sergei Tsytsarev, Hofstra University

I notice that most people gave this book very favorable reviews. I love the book, so I was surprised to see even two negative reviews. One person thought it was too difficult. Perhaps that reviewer needs to learn more about psychology before tackling it again. I found it quite readable and extremely interesting. The other negative reviewer complained of typos. Yes, there are a few, but I've never read a book that lacked such errors, if only punctuation errors. That is no problem as long as I can figure out what was meant. It seems like a trivial complaint for a book this good. Unlike other psychology books on culture that I've read, this one is not divided into various cultures or types of people (African Americans, East Asians, seniors, LGBTTQ, etc.) pointing out their unique differences. Instead, this book is divided into psychological aspects of people (cognition, emotion, motivation, etc.) and considers what factors (genetics, geography, socialization, economics, religious belief, etc.) bring about differences. In other words, the book presents what evidence exists for WHY people differ, if and when they do, and points out what mental phenomena seem to be universal. Critical thinking is an important aspect of the book, and the authors show how people can go wrong in studying people cross culturally. Moreover, the authors merely show how and why people are different, but leave up to the reader to decide what beliefs and actions in others they are willing to accept as part of human diversity and which ones they will drawn the line on, such as female genital mutilation. Other psychology books on culture I've read irrationally ask the reader to follow the APA Ethics while accepting various practices and beliefs as acceptable or normative as long as they are typical of a certain culture. Such an approach is not helpful, and that's where critical thinking needs to be applied. This book is an antidote for that irrational approach.

This is one of the required readings for one of my college courses right now, I am utilizing the rental book through Amazon for the first time, and I will admit, I am pleased with how fast it arrived, and I do look forward to sending it back. This book is entirely difficult to focus on, it is a very dry read, it is not very engaging, and so far the seven chapters that I have read, have been very difficult to focus in on, which is not usually a problem that I have. That said, I do appreciate that every chapter of the book does have definitions following the chapter, relating to what was said in the chapter, which has helped me study a lot, but I have had to read each chapter several times, to feel a little bit more confident. If you are required to read this for your class, I highly recommend that you plan to spend a little more time with a book than you usually would.

Needed it for college

There are some irresponsible chapters in this book! The book is written with a Euro-centric bias and plethora ofpoorly supported theories are written as fact. Not a great textbook to teach from.

It would be nice if someone would review before publishing. Spelling and grammatical errors are appalling.

Really enjoyed the book.

Very good book.

Very good and detail book with great examples througtout.
