Abstract
There are essentially two questions I want to raise, both stemming directly from the title of Triandis’s paper, “Social Psychology and Cultural Analysis.” The first is: What can cultural analysis (or the use of the cross-cultural method) do for social psychology, how can we improve the social psychology that we do, how can we extend it by taking heed of the activities of anthropologists and psychologists who have been working cross culturally? The second question is: What can social psychology do for cross-cultural psychology; what can social psychology do for the understanding of behavior in a variety of cultural contexts?
