Summary
This chapter is a unique contribution to the social and emotional intelligences discourse. Culturally relative self-actualization is defined as the transcendence of basic physiological, psychological, and self or group-fulfillment needs that are meaningful and defined by a person’s cultural paradigm. Within a cultural paradigm, the person’s specific living contexts must be taken into account, as many do not have the privilege or ease of satisfying needs as readily as others. This chapter demonstrates how social and emotional intelligences support culturally relative self-actualization.
