My Project
Take A Look At One Of The Pages
This summer I have been working on creating a
cultural-historical psychology website. My
website will serve a purpose of a guide through
research on cultural-historical psychology.
Namely, it will a) get people acknowledged with
cultural psychology b)give them
a brief history of the science c)give them an
overview of the research done and whos doing
it d)tell them whats new and exciting in the
field
The Research
The goal of cultural-historical psychologists is
to study the role of culture in the lives of
people and to design psychological tests with
culture in mind. In order to accomplish this
goal they must study every country first-hand,
and then use the data gathered. This poses quite
a few challenges monetary issues, difficulty of
replicating the experiments, and mainly, the lack
of central database to feed the information into.
The Research Page
My Contribution
My main objective in creating the website is to
ease the research for the researchers, as well as
to get the novices in the field interested in
more. When doing research on the research in
cultural-historical psychology, I found it
difficult to find a database that would contain
all the information I needed. This is when I
decided to create a website that will guide
people through the history of cultural-historical
psychology, let them find out about the research,
and give the contact info for the people they
need.
