Overview

This volume describes a broad array of culturally sensitive research methods in psychology, addressing diverse issues such as implicit bias, identity development, trauma, and racism. Each chapter provides instructive value for those who want to effectively employ these methods, as well as deep reflection on the meaning of various methods for understanding complex psychological phenomena. The methods discussed include various interview methodologies, digital tools, use of media representations, exposure to positive exemplars, survey and experience sampling, and participatory action research. These topics and methods are arranged across three sections: methods that are meant to describe culture and cultural phenomena, methodologies designed to facilitate awareness of structural bias and inequity, and a section on broad, overarching issues, such as the colonial harm inflicted by scientific research, diversity in open science, and intersectionality.

Reviews

The field of psychology has spent the past decade wrestling with two crises: a crisis of evidence about the robustness of our findings, and a crisis of relevance about the utility of our work for addressing issues in society. The chapters in this volume provide insights to address both sets of concerns. Authors discuss methodologies from cultural psychology that can be leveraged to improve to the rigor psychological research, and the practical relevance of that research for improving lives in our diverse society. -- Neil A. Lewis, Jr., Ph.D, Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medicine, Department of Communication, Division of General Internal Medicine, USA This is a definite must read for any budding or established researcher and practitioner of (cross)cultural psychology. This book provides a unique and much needed perspective into the complexities, challenges, and positive gains of doing socially just, ethical, experientially-relevant, and theoretically and methodologically sound cultural research. The overall framework of the book DSthat culture can be described but also transformed-- is one that most traditional and cross-cultural researchers have not thought about enough. This book can teach them why and how this perspective is critically important. It helps also that the editor has done a terrific job in collecting and integrating views from the relevant experts while covering a very impressive array of topics. -- Veronica Benet-Martinez, Ph.D, Research Professor of Political and Social Sciences, Pompeu Fabra University, Spain The ways in which we do science is changing. As the field of psychology strives to become more inclusive, equitable, and transparent, this book comes at the perfect time. The impressive collection of chapters from leading scholars will inspire researchers to think more critically and creatively about our approaches and methods. To do so this book describes a diversity of innovative methodologies to build a body of knowledge that is rigorous, relevant, and, importantly, not doing harm to the people and communities involved. Cultural Methods in Psychology will spark new ideas and is a joy to read. -- Linda Juang, Ph.D, Professor of Inclusive Education, Diversity in Education and Development, Univrersity of Potsdam, Germany This book is a timely and excellent resource for all scholars who are committed to supporting and conducting culturally responsible science. The nuanced discussions of equity and justice as they relate to our scientific practices are refreshing and absolutely needed to move the field of psychology forward. -- Adriana J. Umana-Taylor, Ph.D, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot Professor of Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA
