作者探讨了人类发展研究的跨文化方法的前景。他们首先考察了实证主义和建构主义范式之间的明显冲突，并考察了它们的方法论含义。他们主张一种中间立场，将看似对立的范式视为互补而非对立。论文的主要部分列出了该领域需要进一步发展的领域，特别是更快地将新理论用于跨文化测试，并制定出适合社会问题的文化应用。较短的部分致力于选择适当的理论框架，发展“本土心理学”和研究人员在不同背景下的工作条件。作者的结论是，在过去的二十年里，人类发展的跨文化方法的情况有了显着改善，但仍然有很多工作要做，以完全脱离发展心理学从其固有的民族中心主义“认真对待文化”。
The authors examine the prospects of a cross-cultural approach for research in human development. They first examine the apparent conflict between the positivistic and the constructionist paradigms, and examine their methodological implications. They argue for a midline position, seeing the seemingly opposed paradigms as complementary rather than antithetical. The major part of the paper lists the further developments needed in the field, in particular taking new theories to the crosscultural test more quickly, and working out culturally appropriate applications to social issues. Shorter sections are devoted to the choice of appropriate theoretical frameworks, to the development of "indigenous psychologies'' and to the working conditions of researchers in different contexts. The authors conclude that the situation of a cross-cultural approach to human development has improved significantly in the last two decades, but that there is still a lot to be done to completely disengage developmental psychology from its inherent ethnocentrism by "taking culture seriously''.
