Abstract

This article deals with the subject of cross-cultural psychology. It is discussed how a Cross-cultural study should be designed and presented or which factors may be considered in terms of the culture in order to obtain valid results. One should take into account the ethical problems of data collection, and also avoid the own ethnocentric or egocentric perception and thought patterns. These thought patterns are presented and discussed. In addition, the differences of cross-cultural psychology and cultural psychology are discussed. Further, the psychological implications of intercultural communication will be treated.
