key concepts and findings and their practical applications.

. Reorganized table of contents to better reflect a developmental learning approach.

. Updated content to include recent research in psychology and related fields (e.g., new acculturation models, an ecological model of health behavior, sociocultural issues in sexual identity formation, and other culture-related syndromes).
