Design of culturally-appropriate developmental interventions

Abstract

About five years ago I would not have thought that I would be worrying (let alone writing) about cultural appropriateness of interventions. after about twenty years of doing research in the US, I believed that science was science, and theory was theory no matter where one might be located. Professor Kagitcibasi should have been, but was not, dismayed at my attitude. She merely suggested that there may be other points of view, and continued to collaborate with me in various research projects. I am deeply grateful for that opportunity.
