Abstract

In this article, we examine the place of culture in the human sciences with specific reference to psychology and the cultural histories of India. Despite the depth of scholarly writing on the intimate and inextricable ties between culture and psychological processes, core advancements and definitive positions in psychology have remained elusive. The privileging of a single culturally specific world-view alongside the exclusion of others has seriously hindered the authentic internationalization of psychology. We propose that linkages between culture and psychology need to be visualized as a dialogue between different cultural traditions. In the dialectics between bheda–abheda (difference and non-difference), structural-developmental, dispositional-relational, and social-collective processes will be invoked to develop our arguments for a human-science approach to the study of persons in culture. We argue that it is through the inclusion, rather than suppression, of diverse ideologies that generalizability can be best achieved. This is a call for an audit and reconstruction of psychology and its practices as an international discipline with a roadmap for theory construction and research informed by a cultural psychological approach toward human phenomena.

心理科学的文化意义
在这篇文章中,我们考察了文化在人文科学中的地位,具体涉及心理学和印度的文化历史。尽管关于文化和心理过程之间密切而不可分割的联系的学术著作有深度,但心理学的核心进步和明确立场仍然难以捉摸。对一种特定文化世界观的特权,以及对其他文化世界观的排斥,严重阻碍了心理学的真正国际化。我们建议,文化与心理学之间的联系需要被可视化为不同文化传统之间的对话。在差异与非差异之间的辩证法中,结构-发展、倾向-关系和社会-集体过程将被引用,以发展我们对文化中人的人类科学研究方法的论点。我们认为,正是通过包容而不是压制不同的意识形态,才能最好地实现普遍性。这是对心理学及其实践作为一门国际学科进行审计和重建的呼吁,并为理论建设和研究提供路线图,并通过文化心理学方法来了解人类现象。

期刊介绍: Review of General Psychology seeks to publish innovative theoretical, conceptual, or methodological articles that cross-cut the traditional subdisciplines of psychology. The journal contains articles that advance theory, evaluate and integrate research literatures, provide a new historical analysis, or discuss new methodological developments in psychology as a whole. Review of General Psychology is especially interested in articles that bridge gaps between subdisciplines in psychology as well as related fields or that focus on topics that transcend traditional subdisciplinary boundaries.
