Interdisciplinary Perspective on Psychology

Global professionals apply multidimensional thinking to understand psychology and sustain diversified viewpoints into holistic perspectives without enlarging cognitive gaps.

Positive psychology puts emphasis on strengths; it focuses on human strengths, virtues, and what makes life fulfilling. Negative Psychology puts emphasis on shortcomings; it concentrates on human deficiencies, challenges, and adverse experiences. Anthropological insights can enhance psychological research, particularly in understanding diverse cultural perspectives on well-being. 

Both disciplines explore concepts of identity, community, and belonging, albeit from different angles—psychology through individual experiences and anthropology through cultural narratives.

 Interdisciplinary Perspective on Psychology: Social Psychology focuses on understanding human behavior within ecological, historical, cultural, and sociopolitical contexts, addressing social conditions that increase the risk of distress. Multicultural Psychology overlaps with social psychology, emphasizing the examination of variables central to the psychological well-being of multicultural populations.

Psychological perspective focuses on the mind, body, and subjectivity of the individual in whose life and experience culture and society are actualized. Both disciplines explore concepts of identity, community, and belonging, albeit from different angles. Global professionals apply multidimensional thinking to understand psychology and sustain diversified viewpoints into holistic perspectives without enlarging cognitive gaps.
