Note
Indigenous Psychology is a field of study that focuses on understanding psychological concepts and practices that are rooted in specific cultural contexts. Unlike Western psychology, which often assumes universal principles, Indigenous psychology recognizes that cultural knowledge shapes how people perceive and experience the world.
It aims to investigate indigenous cultures and their unique perspectives on mental health, well-being, and behavior.
Culturally representative theories are developed to reflect the values and beliefs of indigenous communities.
Research is typically conducted by or in collaboration with members of the indigenous culture being studied.
DefinitionIndigenous Psychology
A branch of psychology that emphasizes understanding mental processes and behaviors within the context of specific cultural traditions and practices.
Example
In Maori culture, mental health is viewed holistically through the concept of Hauora, which includes physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being. Indigenous psychology would study how this holistic view influences treatment approaches.
Note
Indigenous psychology challenges the assumption that Western psychological theories are universally applicable, highlighting the importance of cultural specificity.
