anthropology is a highly interdiscplinary field that studies the
interaction of culture and mental processes. In particular,
psychological anthropologists tend to focus on ways in which
humans' development and enculturation within a particular
cultural group, with its own history, language, practices, and
conceptual categories, shape processes of human cognition,
emotion, perception, motivation, and mental health.
Psychological anthropologists tend to differ from social
psychologists in that the latter are more concerned with general
features of human interaction within social groups, rather than
the historically and culturally specific effects of being
socialized within a particular group; they differ from cultural
psychologists in generally being more concerned with elucidating
cultural models and in looking at effects in daily life, rather
than specifically cognitive differences detectab
