Although the Chinese people constitute more than a quarter of the world's population, this book is the first to summarize and integrate the wealth of data available, both in Chinese and English, on the psychological functioning of the Chinese people. The well-known contributors emphasize prime areas of research, the theoretical models used to integrate these findings, and problems for future investigation. They provide a cross-cultural perspective on the data and cover topics such as socialization, perception, cognition, personality, psychopathology, social behavior, and organization. Full of interesting comparisons, facts, and insights, the work will appeal to anyone interested in Chinese culture.
