Social Values and Development: Asian Perspectives

By Durganand Sinha

The theme of this book is the role of psychology in dealing with problems of national development. Questions examined include: which attitudes and values, if any, are universally associated with socio-economic development; to what extent do such values conflict with traditional beliefs and attitudes; how can knowledge from psychological research be most effectively used for modernization and development without disrupting traditional values cherished by the culture.
