xii + 231pp, bibliography, index, ex-library with bookplate on front free endpaper and pocket on lower free endpaper, dustjacket covered in library plastic, label on spine, withdrawn stamps, a sound working copy. "Readers interest in the psychology of non-Western peoples will find this volume provocative in both descriptive and theoretical detail. The first book-length study of Siamese psychological life, it describes the members of an Asia peasant community whose dominant personality traits are aimed at the maintenance of their individuality, privacy, and sense of self-regard.Basing his research on two years of field work in the Central Plain community of Bang Chan, Mr Phillips offers a systematic analysis and comparison of two kinds of data: observations of the villagers' overt behaviour in workaday social encounters, and their subjective responses to a special psychological test. Many readers will find particular value in his discussion of design, translation, and implementation of psychological research methods in non-Western cultures". From the Publishers description.

Shipping Terms

The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
