In this highly informative and interdisciplinary exploration of the relationship between culture and psyche, de Munck provides a substantive introduction to pertinent issues, theory, and empirical studies that lie at the junction of psychology, sociology, and anthropology. This engagingly written text reviews various approaches to such questions as: Where is culture locatedinside or outside the head? What is the selfis there a single, unified self or do many selves inhabit the body? Do institutional structures form to meet our needsor are our everyday lives simply a result of institutional structures? What is meaning and how do we study it? de Muncks examination of these different approaches illuminates the importance of the topic, expands readers understanding of human life, and points to psychological anthropologys relevance in affecting public policies.

A great deal of research has recently been completed on behavior and the organization of work, most of which has viewed it from an ethnocentric perspective. In this work, Erez and Earley show how this is insufficient to develop a global theory of work behavior--it necessitates the inclusion of a cultural perspective. Solidly grounding their work in the fields of psychology, management, and anthropology, the authors propose a new theoretical framework utilizing individual's self-concept as a means of linking cultural beliefs and social interaction to emergent work behavior. The book includes specific recommendations for structuring work environments and managerial processes to match cultural practices and enhance productivity in the workplace, making it an essential reference for scholars, students, and professionals.

Class, Self, Culture puts class back on the map in a novel way by taking a new look at how class is made and given value through culture. It shows how different classes become attributed with value, enabling culture to be deployed as a resource and as a form of property, which has both use-value to the person and exchange-value in systems of symbolic and economic exchange. The book shows how class has not disappeared, but is known and spoken in a myriad of different ways, always working through other categorisations of nation, race, gender and sexuality and across different sites: through popular culture, political rhetoric and academic theory. In particular attention is given to how new forms of personhood are being generated through mechanisms of giving value to culture, and how what we come to know and assume to be a 'self' is always a classed formation. Analysing four processes: of inscription, institutionalisation, perspective-taking and exchange relationships, it challenges recent debates on reflexivity, risk, rational-action theory, individualisation and mobility, by showing how these are all reliant on fixing some people in place so that others can move.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Culture and self-enhancement: Above-average effect as a function of personal trait importance and cultural trait importance submitted by TAM Kim Pong for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in July 2006 That human possesses a basic need for self-esteem and a motivation to maintain a positive view of the self (i.e., self-enhancement motive) is suggested in many psychological theories. Based on previous research, the present research presents an integrated view of culture and self-enhancement, which entails two basic premises: (i) self-enhancement motive is universal, and (ii) self-enhancement behavior is subject to self-motivations and social and cultural constraints. In three studies, two conducted in Hong Kong and one in US, self-enhancement was operationalized as above-average effect. On a number of traits, participants were asked to compare themselves with other people of the same gender, age and background. Also, participants were asked to report the personal importance, as well as the perceived importance to most fellow cultural members, of these traits. Self-enhancement was found in both cultural samples. Also, across the two cultures, self-enhancement was positively associated with personal trait importance: participants self-enhanced more on self-evaluation dimensions which were personally important. In addition, found in Hong Kong participants only but not in American participants, self-enhancement was negatively associated with perceived cultural trait importance: self-enhancement was weaker on dimensions perceived to be important to most fellow cultural members. This culturally variant tendency to consider cultural trait importance in self-enhancement is attributed to the prevalence of modesty norm in Hong Kong culture. In all, the present research demonstrates that self-enhancement is a function of personal importance and cultural importance of the self-evaluation dimensions, and the weights of these two factors are culturally variant.

Traditional scholars of philosophy and religion, both East and West, often place a major emphasis on analyzing the nature of "the self." In recent decades, there has been a renewed interest in analyzing self, but most scholars have not claimed knowledge of an ahistorical, objective, essential self free from all cultural determinants. The contributors of this volume recognize the need to contextualize specific views of self and to analyze such views in terms of the dynamic, dialectical relations between self and culture. An unusual feature of this book is that all of the chapters not only focus on traditions and individuals, East and West, but include as primary emphases comparative philosophy, religion, and culture, reinforcing individual and cultural creativity. Each chapter brings specific Eastern and Western perspectives into a dynamic, comparative relation. This comparative orientation emphasizes our growing sense of interrelatedness and interdependency.

Across sociology and cultural studies in particular, the concept of authenticity has begun to occupy a central role, yet in spite of its popularity as an ideal and philosophical value authenticity notably suffers from a certain vagueness, with work in this area tending to borrow ideas from outside of sociology, whilst failing to present empirical studies which centre on the concept itself. Authenticity in Culture, Self, and Society addresses the problems surrounding this concept, offering a sociological analysis of it for the first time in order to provide readers in the social and cultural sciences with a clear conceptualization of authenticity and with a survey of original empirical studies focused on its experience, negotiation, and social relevance at the levels of self, culture and specific social settings.
