Culture and Community

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Cultural psychology explores the intricate relationship between cultures and the psychological processes of their members, studying how cultures both shape and are shaped by these processes. It acknowledges the inseparable and reciprocal connection between the mind and culture, recognizing that individuals are not only influenced by their cultural context but also play a role in shaping it. In a related vein, community psychology focuses on studying the community as the primary unit of analysis, in contrast to the predominant focus on the individual in most other branches of psychology.
