Psychology in the Three Worlds
The global dominance of American psychology, as well as other social sciences, has more to do with the superpower and military status of the United States than it has with American research superiority. The exportation of traditional American psychology to the rest of the world, with little real regard for cultural ‘appropriateness’, and its impact is a theme in this section.
