CROSS-CULTURAL PSYCHOLOGY AND ITS POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

Summary/Abstract: This text highlights the increasing importance of cultural variables in psychology, and also of its possible applications in the school environment. It clarifies aspects pertaining to cultural psychology, which examines psychological processes in their cultural context. It thus becomes interdisciplinary and, by appealing to other disciplines in the area of social sciences, enables the integration of social variables into individual ones. The potential for application in the school environment is worth developing in a more explicit manner, taking into account, on the one hand cognitive development and on the other hand intergroup relations and intercultural communication, as well as social, school and clinical psychology.
