Planning in Brazil, India and Germany
No full textPlanning is a fundamental cognitive ability that helps in organizing and structuring events unfolding in a person\u27s daily life. Two studies are presented that analyze planning behavior in different cultures: Brazil, India, and Germany. The first is a cross-cultural psychological study in which students develop plans for uncertain problem scenarios. The second study follows a cultural psychological tradition. Workers from different domains are interviewed about their life problems and plans. The strengths and the weaknesses of both approaches become obvious in the description and discussion of these two studies. The cross-cultural study sheds light on cross-cultural similarities and differences in planning in Brazil, India, and Germany. The cultural psychological approach yields data regarding a theoretical model on the specific cultural influences on planning
Neues in der Römischen Archäologie: Die Sicht aus der Schweiz
No full textDer Beitrag widmet sich der Forschungslandschaft und aktuellen Forschungen der römischen Archäologie in der Schweiz, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Provinzialrömischen Archäologie in der Deutschschweiz. Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei – im Sinn des vorliegenden Buches – den Neuerungen auf methodologischer und theoretischer Ebene. Im Anschluss an eine Darstellung des Wissenschaftsbetriebes werden einige dieser Neuerungen charakterisiert und anhand aktueller Beispiele illustriert. Zum Schluss soll mit einem Blick in die Zukunft erkundet werden, welches Potential in einer künftigen (Neu-)Untersuchung der Quellen zur römischen Archäologie in der Schweiz im Licht einer Auswahl an aktuellen Theorien liegen könnte

No full textDecision Making in Individualistic and Collectivistic Cultures
No full textHow do cultural values influence individuals\u27 decision making? One would expect answers to this question either from cognitive psychology or from cross-cultural psychology. Cognitive theories on decision making, however, rarely consider the factor of culture, and research in cross-cultural psychology deals only to a small extent with decision making. Therefore the study of culture and decision making is a relatively new and unexplored field. In this paper normative and descriptive approaches to decision making are discussed and three cross-cultural studies on decision making in individualistic and collectivist cultures using different methodologies are described. The results are integrated into a model that can be helpful to derive specific hypotheses for further studies in this field
