Interviewing Techniques for Eliciting Cultural-Psychological Information
Cultural Psychology, 2002Co-Authors: Carl RatnerAbstract:Interviews are an excellent means to ascertain the Cultural origins, formation, characteristics, and functions of psychological phenomena. The subject can be questioned about Cultural activities, artifacts, and concepts that influenced various psychological phenomena. In addition, interviews encourage subjects to describe their experience in detail so that the Cultural Psychologist can apprehend Cultural elements embedded within experience that may escape the attention of the subject.

`The Hopi in Me': The Construction of a Voice in the Dialogical Self from a Cultural Psychological Perspective
Theory & Psychology, 2002Co-Authors: Ingrid E. JosephsAbstract:A `voice', the central concept in the theory of the dialogical self (e.g. Hermans & Kempen, 1993), is located neither `in' the person nor `in' culture, but comes into being as a relation between person and culture. An extensive example of everyday life is presented that on a phenomenological level illustrates the formation of a particular voice: `the Hopi in me'. It is the major goal of this paper to analyze this example in sound theoretical terminology. Both Cultural psychology and cross-Cultural psychology are sub-disciplines that deal with culture in general, and the relation between culture and the individual in particular. The discussion of the different foci of both disciplines leads to the conclusion that only a Cultural psychological framework allows for an elaboration of the concept of voice. More specifically, the theoretical approaches of the German sociologist Georg Simmel and the Cultural Psychologist Ernst Boesch are introduced and applied to the conceptual analysis of the example. `The Hopi...

Self-Construction in a Nightly Gathering of Culture and Person: Rendezvous or Conflict?:
Culture & Psychology, 2002Co-Authors: Ingrid E. JosephsAbstract:Psychology has provided a variety of ways to conceptualize the relation between culture and person. In order to study the ‘work of culture’ in the person, or, as I prefer to say, the person’s ‘work on culture’, the vantage point for a psychological analysis is necessarily the person’s experiential world. According to the Cultural Psychologist Boesch, the person’s experiential world—the fantasmicsystem—is guided by Cultural suggestions: myths. Fantasms are understood as personal, and thus novel transformations of myths. In this commentary, I interpret the four Samoan dreams presented by Mageo (2002) in two ways. First, they are examples of personally constructed fantasms, guided by a variety of conflicting and opposing Cultural myths in a postcolonial world. These dreams, however, can also be understood as accounts of a multivoiced, conflicting (and thus non-dialogical in the strict sense of the term) self, which is far from integrating heterogeneous voices of the traditional and colonial past and postcolonial present. Thus, the dreams are not a peaceful dialogue between person and culture—a nightly rendezvous—but rather represent the person’s struggle and fight for selfhood and identity. Mageo provides convincing empirical evidence for the assumption that change in historical times is experienced on a personal level—in the person’s self- and identity-formation. Her idiographic analysis is an important step in finding general laws—nomoi—that are applicable to human beings rather than to variables.
