摘要:

Few studies of personality and culture pay heed to the development of individuals after they have come of age. Most empirical research focuses upon what happens to children and youth on their way to becoming adults. And the whole vocabulary of the field is built around a notion of “doing to” persons in a junior position, in order to “socialize” or “enculturate” them. Child training, for example, is investigated in terms of what happens to children but not in terms of its effect upon their parents. This child-centered bias means that the usual personality and culture models are of little help when one seeks to understand normal growth in relatively self-aware and self-directing adults. A curve of standard stages of psychogenesis may be useful when studying infants. Adult development, however, can be better understood as a web of interpersonal contingencies of change. Two important features of this are: a) an adult's awareness of career pathways, stages, and potentials; and b) an adult's obligation to care for others in a circle of consociates—Erikson's notion of “generativity” seen in wider compass. I sketch an interpersonal approach to adult development, and illustrate portions of it by analyzing the best-selling Japanese novel of 1972, A Man in Ecstasy.

摘要:

Looking at the work of the Japanese novelist, Ishiwara Shintaro, the author attempts to see to what extent and in what way the Freudian psychoanalytic theory “works” when applied to the Japanese not on an analyst's couch, and helps us in expanding our understanding of the Japanese psychology.

摘要:

Cargo cults are movements that have repeatedly arisen in Melanesia over the past century as a means of achieving a millennium on earth through attaining the manufactured articles possessed by Europeans. In accord with the fundamental belief system of the Indigenes, these objects will be gained by learning the proper ritual that will induce or make the ancestor spirits send them the “Cargo.” The missionaries were thought to be teaching the ritual by means of which Europeans obtained manufactured goods from their ancestor spirits. This article starts with a study of a man who ritually sacrificed humans as part of his Cargo ritual and describes several Cargo movements. It follows the development of the cultist beliefs and acts from mass hysteria to mass paranoia as disillusionment and frustration increased and self-esteem declined; and it offers an understanding of the Indigenes' orientation to life and ways of thinking through the use of psychoanalytical theories and Piaget's concepts of cognitive development. Cultist thinking, with its profound ethnocentricity, poor boundary formation, and cognitive regression, contributes to our understanding of schizophrenic thinking. Finally, the political advantages and disadvantages of millenarism for the Indigenes of Papua/New Guinea in particular, and for disadvantaged and alienated groups in general, are considered.
