Abstract:Amid an ever-expanding embrace of globalization,
there is also a growing emphasis on understanding human
psychology in a specific local context. Moberg cautioned
that any attempts to ignore particularities while favoring
globalization or universalim in psychology might not
only be unrealistic but probably dangerous [1]. To conduct
realistic psychology research, it is necessary to integrate
both etic and emic approaches. The etic approach refers
to global and universal aspects, while the emic approach
refers to subjective and contextualized aspects of human
psychological functioning [2].
