“The strongest feature of the textbook is the integration of critical thinking and analysis throughout the textThe authors do a great job of weaving this element into every chapter. This is an extremely important skill to emphasize for students of cross-cultural psychology and this textbook would definitely help students to develop this mode of thinking. “

  - Jessica Dennis, California State University, Los Angeles

 

“Many texts have critical thinking boxes which simply give lip service to that aspect of learning, but the authors have set aside an entire chapter for this topic. Well done! The concept of the exercises also set this text apart from others I have seen and used”

  - Jed Griswold, Dean College

  - Maria Coy, Colby-Sawyer College

 

“The text does a superb job overall of delineating the cross cultural similarities and differences of most facets of psychology throughout the world.”

  - L. Kevin Chapman, University of Louisville

 

 “The authors provide both the essence and substance of cross-cultural psychology in this text. It is by far one of the more insightful and well researched texts on cross-cultural psychology. The authors' writing style tends to engage and keep students interested in the topic. The authors' emphasis on critical thinking is also important in laying a foundation for the study of cross-cultural psychology and research. It is therefore not only a great text for students, but also a trustworthy resource for instructors”

  - Corrinne Lim-Kessler, Monmouth College

 

“The text blends explanations of the theoretical with the ‘applied’ and challenges students to think about the way life (e.g., literature, politics, religion, etc.) creates our science.”

  - Belinda Ramos, Chandler Gilbert Community College
