David Matsumoto. San Francisco State University.

Culture affects us in nearly aspect of American life, and David Matsumoto provides readers with the knowledge and skills necessary to interact in our multicultural and pluralistic world.

Using cross-cultural research as a platform to evaluate psychology as we know it, Matsumoto shows readers how to develop their own critical thinking skills in relation to psychology. He encourages readers to raise questions about traditional knowledge and theories, and to investigate the world around them so they can reap the benefits of diversity and turn its challenges into assets.

In addition, you’ll find a unique range and breadth of topics, including:

• Two chapters specially relevant to communication processes;
• Traditional topics such as social, clinical, developmental, and personality psychology;
• And a chapter on the definition of culture, which is often overlooked in the study of cross-cultural psychology.
