Description

In this book, Adler threads together 26 empirical studies that originated in diverse geographical areas. These studies present a comparison of the behaviour of people living in a variety of different cultures. The focus of the book is expressed in Dr Adler's introduction in which she states that cross-cultural research recognizes that while the discovery of differences may be significant, the findings of similarities provide even more meaningful information. This book focuses on a variety of current cross-cultural and cros-ethic issues, which are pertinent to specific ages and stages in a life-span perspective.
