O knihe

The introductory book provides an overview of the current state of cultural psychology regarding theoretical approaches and methods. It also illustrates its strong presence in various fields of action. Cultural psychology is an interdisciplinary research area that aims less to explain human behavior and experience objectively and causally, but rather seeks to understand psychological phenomena in their socio-cultural context. It follows a theoretical understanding that conceives humans as actively acting beings. In comparison to the prevailing nomothetic psychology, it emphasizes different theoretical and methodological approaches, particularly highlighting intentionality, structuring of meaning, and the cultural aspects of human existence. Cultural psychology incorporates hermeneutic approaches from psychology, philosophy, sociology, and ethnology, as well as qualitative methods for studying human actions and experiences.
