With applications throughout the social sciences, culture and psychology is a rapidly growing field that has experienced a surge in publications over the last decade. From this proliferation of books, chapters, and journal articles, exciting developments have emerged in the relationship of culture to cognitive processes, human development, psychopathology, social behavior, organizational behavior, neuroscience, language, marketing, and other topics. In recognition of this exponential growth, Advances in Culture and Psychology is the first annual series to offer state-of-the-art reviews of scholarly research in the growing field of culture and psychology.

The Advances in Culture and Psychology series is:

* Developing an intellectual home for culture and psychology research programs
* Fostering bridges and connections among cultural scholars from across the discipline
* Creating a premier outlet for culture and psychology research
* Publishing articles that reflect the theoretical, methodological, and epistemological diversity in the study of culture and psychology
* Enhancing the collective identity of the culture and psychology field

Comprising chapters from internationally renowned culture scholars and representing diversity in the theory and study of culture within psychology, Advances in Culture and Psychology is an ideal resource for research programs and academics throughout the psychology community.

CULTURAL EVOLUTION AMONG CHIMPANZEES Many human cultural artifacts seem too complex to have been invented at one time by one individual; therefore many cultural products are thought to result from a cumulative evolutionary process (Boyd & Richerson, 1985). Cumulative cultural evolution, by which one individual improves on a socially acquired cultural trait and this new innovation is then transmitted to other group members who might, at a later time, improve on it further, has gained special.

Pioneering work on the chimpanzees of Gombe, we still have detailed observations from only 12 long-term chimpanzee research groups. If this is more than we know regarding many other animal species, it is discouragingly little compared with the many hundreds of human societies we know of and have studied. Therefore it should not come as a surprise that we have been able to find out so little about cultural diversity among chimpanzees. Each new group of chimpanzees under study reveals new facets of.

The use of the double-barreled items is based on a substantive argument: Sam and Berry (1997) have argued that double-barreled items should not be avoided because acculturation orientations are about making choices between cultures. One of the purposes of our study was to examine the adequacy of these double-barreled questions. The Turkish culture was more valued.

Ethnicity was judged to be less acceptable, for moral reasons, than exclusion based on gender, which was sometimes justified for reasons of social convention. Additionally, children deemed it less acceptable to exclude a Muslim child than a Danish majority child and less acceptable for a teacher to exclude a child than for a peer to exclude another peer, indicating that participants considered not only the act of exclusion but the characteristics of the target and excluder, taking into.
