Psicología y Cultura

Abstract

Resumen: se presenta un análisis de las relaciones entre Psicología y Cultura; se hace referencia, en especial, a autores poco difundidos en el contexto argentino de la enseñanza de la Psicología: Wundt, Boesch, Bartlett, Valsiner, Hofstede, Berry, Cole. Se destaca la importancia y urgencia de incorporar el nivel cultural en el análisis y explicación de los diversos comportamientos humanos. Si no se reconoce el plano cultural, sólo nos quedamos ante un ser meramente biológico.

Abstract: An analysis of the liaison between Psychology and Culture is portrayed in this work. Special reference is made to authors that are little known in the Argentine Psychology teaching area such as Wundt, Boesch, Bartlett, Valsiner, Hofstede, Berry and Cole. The importance and need for incorporating the cultural level to the analysis as well as the explanation of the different human behaviors is emphasized. If we do not acknowledge the cultural level, we face a merely biological being.
