What cultural psychologies need: Generalizing theories!

Abstract

Culture and Psychology has by now been around for two decades. As its Editor, I like to look forward, rather than backward, to consider what might be necessary for further advancement of the area. While the discourses in the different subdomains of cultural psychologies 1 have stabilized over the two decades, elaborations of relevant cultural phenomena have been well established, and the field continues in its deeply international and transdisciplinary ways—there are still serious obstacles on its way of further advancement. I would outline two—the need of theory construction, and development of new methodology that honors the qualitative, dynamic, and holistic nature of cultural phenomena.
