Summary

Çißdem KaßitYibaÅŸi has long been at the forefront of research in developmental and cultural psychology, and is one of the world's most highly respected cross-cultural psychologists. This collection of essays has been produced in honor of Professor KaßitYibaÅŸi's retirement and to commemorate her contribution to the field. The volume examines social, developmental, and cultural psychology and intervention policies. A select group of international expert scholars explore those aspects of human behavior that are observed in all cultures, as well as those that are unique to each. They also examine changes in the family across socio-cultural contexts and generations in order to understand the factors precipitating these changes. Representing the most recent developments in theory and research in the field, this is a cutting-edge volume that will appeal to researchers and students of developmental and cross-cultural psychology across the world.
