2 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Globalization of Psychology U. S. traditional psychology has been considered “the mainstream psychology” in the world since the end of WWII (1945). U. S. traditional psychology has been considered “the mainstream psychology” in the world since the end of WWII (1945). In the past two decades, the process of globalization (economic, political, social, and technology development) has “flattened” and “shrunk” the world, and has created many new challenges and opportunities at a global scale (Friedman, 2006). In the past two decades, the process of globalization (economic, political, social, and technology development) has “flattened” and “shrunk” the world, and has created many new challenges and opportunities at a global scale (Friedman, 2006).

3 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Globalization of Psychology Since 1990, there is a tremendous worldwide growth in psychology, especially in regions outside U.S. (e.g., Europe, Asia, South America, etc.) and the trend continues (Hogan & Vaccaro, 2007; Stevens & Wedding, 2004). Since 1990, there is a tremendous worldwide growth in psychology, especially in regions outside U.S. (e.g., Europe, Asia, South America, etc.) and the trend continues (Hogan & Vaccaro, 2007; Stevens & Wedding, 2004). Despite the dominant global influence of the U.S. traditional mainstream psychology, it has limited usefulness in addressing the global problems and various regional issues around the world (Arnett, 2008). Despite the dominant global influence of the U.S. traditional mainstream psychology, it has limited usefulness in addressing the global problems and various regional issues around the world (Arnett, 2008).

4 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Globalization of Psychology Various alternative psychologies emerging around the world reflect the paradigmatic adjustments in psychology and a need for a new global or international perspective in psychology (Moghaddam, Erneling, Montero, & Lee, 2007). Various alternative psychologies emerging around the world reflect the paradigmatic adjustments in psychology and a need for a new global or international perspective in psychology (Moghaddam, Erneling, Montero, & Lee, 2007). Psychology education and training therefore needs to be “internationalized” to reflect the growing research literature around the world, to address global issues and concerns, and to build global competence in new generations of psychologists (Marsella, 2007). Psychology education and training therefore needs to be “internationalized” to reflect the growing research literature around the world, to address global issues and concerns, and to build global competence in new generations of psychologists (Marsella, 2007).

5 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Geography of Thought : How and Why Asians and Westerns Think Differently Richard E. Nisbett (2003), in his book “Geography of Thought”, summarized and presented empirical evidence to show how contemporary Eastern Asians (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Koreans) and European Americans have different thinking patterns and worldviews. Richard E. Nisbett (2003), in his book “Geography of Thought”, summarized and presented empirical evidence to show how contemporary Eastern Asians (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Koreans) and European Americans have different thinking patterns and worldviews. He argued that these differences can be traced back to the Ancient philosophical traditions. He argued that these differences can be traced back to the Ancient philosophical traditions.

6 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Geography of Thought : How and Why Asians and Westerns Think Differently Ancient Greek Tradition Ancient Chinese Tradition Sense of personal agency (One is in charge of one’s life and free to act as one chooses. Each individual is unique with distinctive attributes and goals.) Sense of collective agency (One is a part of a large, complex, and hierarchical social group. Social harmony is utmost important, achievable by following Confucian ethics.) Great intellectual curiosity (speculated about the nature of the world, constructed models by categorizing objects and events and generating rules about them for systematic description and explanation) Concerned about practicality (focused on practical inventions and technologies. discouraged abstract speculation, theorizing, and scientific investigation. Trying to follow “the way” to be in harmony with the nature, according to Taoism.) Focus on the object in isolation (analytical, attributes, simplistic) Perceive object in the context (holistic, relationships)

7 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Geography of Thought : How and Why Asians and Westerns Think Differently American and Japanese subjects made about an equal number of references to the focal fish, but the Japanese made more than 60 percent more references to background elements (e.g., water, rocks, frog, etc.) - Research conducted by Masuda & Nisbett (2001) as reported in Nisbett (2003)

8 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Geography of Thought : How and Why Asians and Westerns Think Differently Ancient Greek Tradition Ancient Chinese Tradition The world is fundamentally static and unchanging The world is constantly changing and is full of contradictions (Yin alternates with yang according to Taoism.) Engaging in debate and verbal contention to discover truth Avoiding arguments and disagreements to maintain social harmony Invented Logic (Using the principle of noncontradiction; Either/or thinking, decontextual) Developed dialectic thinking (accepting contradictions, depending on context; both/and thinking, contextual)

9 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Geography of Thought : How and Why Asians and Westerns Think Differently Which of the following two groups of proverbs most appeals to you? Which of the following two groups of proverbs most appeals to you? (A) Half a loaf is better than none. One against all is certain to fall. One against all is certain to fall. “For example” is no proof. “For example” is no proof. (B) Too humble is half-proud. Beware of your friends, not your enemies. Beware of your friends, not your enemies. A man is stronger than iron and weaker than a fly. A man is stronger than iron and weaker than a fly. **Chinese students at Beijing University had a preference for group B (proverbs with contradictions) and American students at University of Michigan) preferred Group A (proverbs without contradictions). **Chinese students at Beijing University had a preference for group B (proverbs with contradictions) and American students at University of Michigan) preferred Group A (proverbs without contradictions).

10 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Geography of Thought : How and Why Asians and Westerns Think Differently “….the reasoning style represented by Westerners would be “yang”, because of its forceful, linear, and persistent style, which is optimal for scientific exploration. On the other hand, the dialectical reasoning represented by Chinese would be “yin”, because of its tolerant, holistic and flexible style, which is optimal for negotiating in complex social interactions. Therefore, the ideal state or ultimate strength of human thinking should be a combination of both yin and yang, a synthesis of many different ways of thinking.” (Peng, Spencer-Rodgers, & Nian, 2006, p. 259)

17 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Alternative Psychologies : Liberation Psychology < Example: < Example: In slum neighborhoods in Caracas, Venezuela, researchers performed need assessments with 346 residents. Through discussions with residents, it was revealed that the problems, such as unreliable running water and free- flowing sewage, had become an acceptable norm. The discussions set off a process of conscientization, whereby what was once considered acceptable is de-ideologized. “Conscientization is attained by problematizing and de- ideologizing the status quo.” In slum neighborhoods in Caracas, Venezuela, researchers performed need assessments with 346 residents.

18 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Alternative Psychologies: Liberation Psychology Liberation psychology emanates from several core elements of Latin American history: the struggle of indigenous peoples, economic and political oppression, and violent social upheaval. Liberation psychology remains vital in some Latin American countries (e.g., Guatemala and Peru) that have suffered more recent and severe economic, political, and social oppression. However, it is no longer as vital for Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. These countries have shifted from authoritarian regimes and command economies to pluralistic, market-based democracies. As a result, respect for human rights and civil rights has increased.

25 Created by Dr. Joanne Hsu Addressing the Global Issues Macro-Level Interventions Most of the serious global issues and problems occur at macro-social levels involving large numbers of people from local communities, nations, ethnically diverse regions, and even the world. Most of the serious global issues and problems occur at macro-social levels involving large numbers of people from local communities, nations, ethnically diverse regions, and even the world. To have more impact, psychology has the potential to address these challenges at the macro level, not just through the traditional individual and small-group interventions, but through macro-level approaches associated with social policies and social influence processes. To have more impact, psychology has the potential to address these challenges at the macro level, not just through the traditional individual and small-group interventions, but through macro-level approaches associated with social policies and social influence processes.
