商品描述

This book presents an overview of the work of the most important Psychology researchers in Brazil, contributing to the internationalization of the discipline and fostering cross-cultural approaches in the field. Over the last two decades, Psychology research has experienced an enormous growth in Brazil, which has placed the country among the ten nations with the highest scientific output in the area. A big part of this output, however, remains inaccessible to the majority of the international community because it's mainly published in Portuguese. This book intends to overcome this barrier, presenting a highly relevant sample of the best Psychology research produced in Brazil to those who are unable to read in Portuguese.

In each chapter, a top Brazilian researcher is invited to present a summary of his/her main contributions to the field. The result is a rich overview of the main areas in which Brazilian psychologists have concentrated their work over the last decades, such as Developmental Psychology, Community Psychology, Educational and School Psychology, Evolutionary Psychology, Health Psychology, History of Psychology and Social Psychology.

By putting together such a wide array of topics, Psychology in Brazil - Scientists Making a Difference offers a rich overview of the research in the country to psychologists, educators and social scientists in general interested in cross-cultural approaches within the Behavioral Sciences.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書概述了巴西最重要的心理學研究者的工作，促進了該學科的國際化並促進了該領域的跨文化方法。在過去的二十年中，巴西的心理學研究經歷了巨大的增長，使該國成為在該領域科學產出最高的十個國家之一。然而，這部分產出對於大多數國際社群來說仍然無法獲得，因為它主要以葡萄牙語發表。本書旨在克服這一障礙，向那些無法閱讀葡萄牙語的人展示巴西所產出的最佳心理學研究的高度相關樣本。

在每一章中，邀請一位頂尖的巴西研究者介紹他/她在該領域的主要貢獻摘要。結果是對巴西心理學家在過去幾十年中集中工作的主要領域的豐富概述，例如發展心理學、社區心理學、教育與學校心理學、進化心理學、健康心理學、心理學史和社會心理學。

通過整合如此廣泛的主題，《巴西心理學 - 科學家改變世界》為心理學家、教育工作者和對行為科學中的跨文化方法感興趣的社會科學家提供了該國研究的豐富概述。
