Paper (1) Material: Hazel Markus on the Emergence of Cultural
Psychology
Dr.
Hazel Markus explains how the inextricable factor of one’s own
cultural perspective led to the development of the subfield of
cultural psychology. (Read and react in your paper)
Cultures
are not new, but cultural psychology is a relatively new force in
the field of psychology for a variety of reasons. Even though
there were a number of important thinkers in social psychology,
much of [psychological] research started as an empirical science
in laboratory studies or in controlled settings.
In
these settings, I suspect cultural factors were not as obvious to
people and therefore hard to work with. In addition, there was a
certain uniformity to social psychologists. For a long time, the
field was dominated by white middle-class men with similar
training and similar perspectives. They brought their own
cultural assumptions to the table, making cultural particulars
harder to see.
It
was only when psychology students entered the field from other
contexts and countries, with different ideas and practices, that
the American cultural foundation started to be highlighted.
Diversity in the field is critical as we continue to think about
human nature and examine different ways of living and
interacting.
Cultural
psychology builds on one of the most fundamental ideas in
psychology: The products of the mind are a function of the social
communities that people are part of. Cultural psychology is an
effort to recognize human nature and the different ways of being
human.
It
integrates what we know about human nature with the patterning of
the social worlds we live in. Our departure point is the
discovery of humans as a social process or a social product, and
that makes cultural psychology a very exciting field to be in
right now.
