商品描述

This book provides, from a psychological perspective, a concise critical introduction to, and assessment of, three different approaches to managing diversity: multiculturalism, assimilation, and omniculturalism. This task is undertaken in global context and with reference to cutting edge empirical psychological research.

Historically, assimilation has been the dominant approach to managing diversity. However, since the late 1960s multiculturalism has gained favor and is now the most commonly adopted approach in most Western as well as in some non-Western societies. Both assimilation and multiculturalism rest on some central psychological assumptions that are not supported by empirical research. After critically reviewing the psychological foundations of assimilation and multiculturalism, it is argued that we need to explore new approaches to managing diversity in the twenty-first century. A number of contemporary research programs, such as those related to social identity theory and the common group identity model, point to omniculturalism as a more promising approach to managing diversity. Also, global warming, nuclear proliferation and other major challenges confronting humankind suggest that a diversity management approach that gives priority to human commonalities and universal rights is better suited to our contemporary needs.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書從心理學的角度提供了對三種不同多樣性管理方法的簡明批判性介紹與評估：多元文化主義、同化主義和全文化主義。這項任務是在全球背景下進行的，並參考了前沿的實證心理學研究。

歷史上，同化主義一直是管理多樣性的主導方法。然而，自1960年代末以來，多元文化主義逐漸受到青睞，現在在大多數西方社會以及一些非西方社會中成為最常採用的方法。同化主義和多元文化主義都基於一些中心心理假設，但這些假設並未得到實證研究的支持。在批判性地回顧同化主義和多元文化主義的心理基礎後，本文主張我們需要探索二十一世紀管理多樣性的新的方法。一些當代研究計劃，例如與社會身份理論和共同群體身份模型相關的研究，指出全文化主義是一種更有前景的多樣性管理方法。此外，全球暖化、核擴散以及其他人類面臨的重大挑戰表明，優先考慮人類共同性和普世權利的多樣性管理方法更適合我們當前的需求。
