- Summary:
-
"Japanese Frames of Mind addresses two problems in the light of studies by Japanese and American researchers at Harvard University. Does evidence from Japan challenge basic premises of current psychological theories? Are the universals of human nature claimed by academic psychology more accurately seen as Western or Euroamerican patterns? The chapters provide a wealth of new data and perspectives related to aspects of Japanese parenting, child development, moral reasoning and narratives, school and family socialization, and adolescent experience. By examining Japanese findings against Western theoretical frameworks, the book calls for a new understanding of those frameworks as reflecting the ethnopsychology of Western countries. Written largely in nontechnical language, this book will appeal to developmental and cultural psychologists, anthropologists interested in psychological anthropology, educators, and anyone interested in Japan and Asian studies."--BOOK JACKET.
