Abstract
This special issue brings together contemporary research and theories that advance our understanding of culture as a process. The papers are loosely grouped by the types of cultural processes they address. Overall, the papers in this special issue offer a glimpse at state-of-the-art theory and research in cultural and cross-cultural psychology, which is increasingly embracing the view that culture is generated and re-generated dynamically in the interactions of individuals with their social and material environments. We hope this collection of different perspectives and analyses of cultural processes will contribute to our understanding of how cultures attain stability and how they change.
