This volume brings together sixteen essays that review Spiro's theoretical insights and extend them into new areas. The essays center on several general problems: In what ways is it meaningful to speak of a social act as having ""functions""? What elements and processes of human personality are universal, and why? What is the relationship between religion and personality? Why? What are the psychological underpinnings of social manPersonality and cultureEthnopsychologyElectronic books.Personality and culture.Ethnopsychology.155.8Jordan David K.1931-1047602Swartz Marc J152394Spiro Melford E124541MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459502803321Personality and the cultural construction of society2475281UNINA
