The Chinese people constitute more than a quarter of the world's population. Until now there has been no single volume that summarizes the data available - both in English and Chinese - on the psychological functioning of Chinese people. This book aims to fill that gap, emphasizing the prime areas of research, both past and present, the theoretical models used to integrate the findings and areas for future research. It also provides a cross-cultural comparative perspective on the data. The topics covered include socialization, perception, cognition, personality, psychopathology, social behaviour and organization.
