Delving Into Asian Psyches
by Robin Weber
This series aims to shed light on the understanding of the human psyche from Asian perspectives. On one hand by exploring how the study of psychology was established in different countries, on the other, what is currently happening in psychological research and where it’s going. Psychology is relevant to everybody since it studies us all. However, this research was primarily done in Western countries, making it vital for intercultural competence to understand differing perceptions from around the world. Everyone with an interest for the human mind and Asia is welcome to listen in, as the conversations are easily comprehendible for non-psychologists. Yet we also dig beyond the surface making this project interesting for every researcher, teacher, or student who wants to know what happens elsewhere in their field.
