International projects, professional stays abroad, support and counseling for migrants: In many areas, it is important to interact appropriately with people from different cultural backgrounds. To successfully meet this challenge, intercultural understanding and intercultural competence are required. Intercultural psychology provides fundamental knowledge from which action strategies can be derived. This book sheds light on the psychological processes involved when people from different cultures meet, based on psychological theories and research findings: How do self-image and image of others develop? How do foreign understanding and intercultural learning evolve? What aspects of interpersonal interaction, such as social comparisons, justice, power, and social networks, influence these processes?.
