This article discusses controversies in the field of cross-cultural psychology, including cultural psychology, with a view to possible integration.1 It briefly describes the indigenisation movement as a reaction against Western scientific ethnocentrism and mentions two methodological topics, that is, lack of equivalence of cross-cultural data and issues with culture-comparative studies designed as experiments. Later in the article, major conceptual contrast in cross-cultural psychology such as the dichotomy of universalism and cultural relativism are addressed. The article also addresses the major empirical dichotomy of individualism and collectivism and its extension in cultural neuroscience research. Some examples of applied cross-cultural psychology are given that show how interventions can be adapted for other societies as where they were developed even when dichotomies prevalent in academic research have not been resolved.

跨文化心理学中基本论点的融合

本文讨论包括文化心理学在内的跨文化心理学领域的争议，以期实现可能的融合。1简要描述了本土化运动是对西方科学种族中心主义的一种反应，并提到了两个方法论主题，即缺乏对等跨文化数据和问题的比较，将文化比较研究设计为实验。在本文的后面，讨论了跨文化心理学中的主要概念差异，例如普遍主义和文化相对主义的二分法。本文还讨论了个人主义和集体主义的主要经验二分法及其在文化神经科学研究中的扩展。
