Abstract
The article provides an assessment and overview of the life's work and career of Robert Levine, the leading psychologist anthropologist. His personal biography, awards, career, and accomplishments are described, along with his professional contributions. Special attention is devoted to his contributions to the cross-cultural examination of human development, including his advocacy and thinking regarding the utilization of mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) and multidisciplinary (e.g., psychology, anthropology, demography, sociology, psychiatry, psychoanalytic) approaches. Attention is also given to description of his contributions to the history of psychological anthropology, to the intersection of culture and psyche, to person-centered studies of the Gusii in Kenya, and to comparative studies of human development, in India, Asia, Africa, and beyond. A critical assessment of the relevance of his fifty year career for culture and psychology today is offered.
期刊介绍：
Culture & Psychology addresses the centrality of culture necessary for a basic understanding of the psychology of human beings: their identity, social conduct, intra- and intersubjective experiences, emotions and semiotic creativity. By drawing on diverse theoretical backgrounds, the editorial aim is to provide an international and interdisciplinary forum for scholarly investigations and discussions that will advance our basic knowledge of the self in its historical and cultural contexts. The orientation of the journal is towards formulating new conceptualizations of culture in psychology, together with theoretically relevant empirical investigations.
