关于文化的社会心理学研究主要集中在文化群体之间心理过程的差异。然而，在当今全球化的世界中，一种互补的文化研究方法，一种文化动态的社会心理学，正在成为一个重要的研究项目。它采用了新传播主义的文化元理论，认为文化是从情境社会活动中的文化传播过程中产生的，并考察了随着时间的推移文化的形成、维持和转化的动力。本文从这一角度回顾了文化研究的最新进展，并对未来的研究方向提出了建议。
Social psychological research on culture has mainly focused on differences in psychological processes between cultural groups. However, in the globalizing world today, a complementary approach to culture, a social psychology of cultural dynamics, is emerging as a critical research program. Adopting a neo-diffusionist meta-theory of culture, it regards culture as emerging from the processes of cultural transmission in situated social activities, and examines the dynamics involved in the formation, maintenance, and transformation of culture over time. The paper reviews recent research on culture in this perspective and makes suggestions about future directions.
