Summary
In contributing to this volume in honor of Çiğdem Kağıtçıbaşı, we are acknowledging our indebtedness to her. Her seminal research and leading role as a cross-cultural psychologist have profoundly influenced our own involvement in cross-cultural psychology – and that of others working with us. Since our first meeting, when I conducted my Ph.D. research in Turkey under her supervision, I have tried to live up to her advice: make sense of what your data are telling you. What my data were telling me at the time was that achievement motivation for the Turkish participants in my research was a WE-thing rather than a ME-thing, as mainstream motivational literature would have it. Having started my research career at a time when cross-cultural psychology was virtually nonexistent in most psychology departments in Europe, there is another insight that I owe to her inspiring example. Good research, and in particular good cross-cultural research, is a WE-thing too. It is a joint endeavor, which connects researchers and research ideas across cultures, genders, and generations. The cross-cultural studies discussed in this chapter are no exception to this rule. Following in her footsteps, we feel fortunate to be part of the transmission of this “culture of relatedness” in cross-cultural research to future generations of psychologists.
The cross-cultural study of the family, as exemplified by Kağıtçıbaşı's (1989, 1996) seminal work, is crucial for our understanding of acculturative change in the context of international migration.
