The relationship between the person and the situation in influencing social behavior is a continuing subject of interest to social psychologists. This dialectical relationship is particularly salient in Asia. In this special issue, an outstanding cross-cultural psychologist, Michael Bond, refines the classical formula by Kurt Lewin to explain how the social situation influences a person’s behavior in his lead article. Six renowned international social psychologists responded to Bond’s challenge in their commentaries. Find out from this collection of articles how cross-cultural social psychology helps to advance the paradigm of research in social psychology.
