The Impact

The parenting experience can be both similar and vastly different across different cultural contexts. This chapter outlines what culture is and the impact it has on family structure and functioning and beliefs about parenting. Discussed are the similarities and differences across common cultural dimensions and how knowledge of local cultural beliefs and values is critical in ensuring the successful implementation of parenting interventions is detailed. The importance of adapting evidence-based programs in a culturally appropriate way and of flexibly delivering interventions to fit a range of contexts without compromising program efficacy are addressed. Practical examples of low-risk adaptations are provided. Finally, the existing evidence of a range of Triple P program variants and a range of cultural contexts with a specific focus on low-resource settings are reviewed and practical are provided. The chapter concludes with a discussion about the implications and future directions research could take.

The Impact

The role of race and ethnicity in psychiatric diagnosis and treatment has received increased attention over the last 2 decades. In addition, recent studies conducted to determine the effects of psychotropic drugs among various racial and ethnic groups highlight the importance of considering race and ethnicity during psychopharmacologic interventions.Information regarding differences in drug metabolism, effectiveness, and incidence of adverse effects provides opportunities for psychiatrists to adjust pharmacologic treatment to achieve optimal treatment outcomes while minimizing intolerable side effects. These differences have been explained by inconsistencies in access, stigma, fear of medicines, differing spiritual and cultural beliefs about mental illness, and general mistrust of the healthcare system by many racial and ethnic groups.The articles in this supplement offer a significant contribution to the scientific foundation needed to minimize the patient and clinician factors contributing to the current disparities in mental health care. Recent data, such as those presented in this supplement, describe the role of ethnicity in the pharmacologic treatment of psychiatric disorders and offer hope for improved quality of care for ethnically diverse patient populations. The authors discuss differences in drug metabolism, the impact of these differences on development of various metabolic disorders, and how these differences may be useful in managing intolerable side effects and improving patient compliance and treatment outcome. The information included in these articles should assure that clinical decision making and prescribing practices include sensitivity to safety, tolerability, and dosing for an increasingly ethnically diverse population.

The meanings of place and the relationship between place and health have culturally specific dimensions. This is of particular importance for indigenous people and communities as often regarding landscape as part of a circle of life, establishing a holistic perspective about health and wellbeing. The indigenous Māori of Aotearoa/New Zealand contend that their relationship with the land shapes how the cultural, spiritual, emotional, physical, and social wellbeing of people and communities are expressed. Few studies have explored the influence of the cultural beliefs and values on health, in particular the intricate link between land and health. This chapter broadens the understanding of therapeutic landscapes through the exploration of specific cultural dimensions. It contributes to the expanding body of research focusing on the role of therapeutic landscapes and their role in shaping health, through the development of new research methods.

Beliefs And Values

The increasing importance and practice of strategic leadership can easily be seen as a rational and logical response to growing complexity and volatility in the task environments that organizations confront. Undoubtedly, this is partially true, but a strategic leadership response is also supported and encouraged by the cultural assumptions, beliefs, and values embedded in many Western societies. It is not without significance that strategic leadership has become so widely adopted in national cultures that legitimize individualism, power distance, risk-taking, and future-orientated behaviors. These cultural dimensions support and encourage strategic leadership, but what happens when this leadership model is applied, or imposed, in different national cultural contexts? This chapter tries to answer this question by considering national culture and the perception of the strategic leadership construct.

In which cultural contexts do individual values explain entrepreneurship? An integrative values framework using Schwartz’s theories

The Impact

Answering research calls for better contextualisation of entrepreneurial behaviour, we examine the cultural contexts in which individuals with entrepreneurial values (Schwartz’s self-enhancement- and openness-to-change values) are most likely to be entrepreneurs. Culture is assessed through Schwartz’s cultural dimensions of mastery and egalitarianism. The results of multilevel logistic regressions with more than 35,000 respondents nested in 28 European countries support the hypotheses that individual values are more important for explaining entrepreneurship in non-entrepreneurial cultures (low in mastery and egalitarianism). Our results indicate that mastery compensates for openness-to-change, whereas egalitarianism reduces the impact of both self-enhancement and openness-to-change values.
