Reviews:

Very little work has appeared on Asian social psychology, and this important volume fills that significant void....this volume's greatest strength is its focus on current empirical social psychological work with Korean, Chinese, and Japanese populations. This volume will be of interest to advanced scholars of cross-cultural social psychology and multicultural psychology and in the applied clinical/counseling fields. References at the end of each chapter. Recommended. Graduate and research collections only.
—Choice November 2003
Given that East Asian social psychologists are frequently aware of the political underpinnings and implications of their work, it is not exaggerated to say that Progress in Asian Social Psychology represents not only a scientific but also a politically significant effort.
—International Psychology Reporter Fall 2004/Winter 2005

Description: This volume presents ways of thinking dramatically different from mainstream psychology, which is seen by many as primarily a product of Western civilization. Asian social psychologists in this edited collection apply Asian perspectives to issues of major concern in their societies, including parental beliefs about shame and moral socialization in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the United States; achievement motivation in Taiwan and the United States; and the effects of school violence on the psychological adjustment of Korean adolescents. Other chapters examine the role of social psychologists in Confucian societies, and group dynamics in Japan. The authors believe psychological research using an indigenous approach will enable Asian as well as non-Asian psychologists to understand the cognitions and behaviors of Asian people more accurately. Scholars and students interested in Asian psychology, social, cultural and cross-cultural psychology will find this volume of interest.
