跨文化的接触可以提供一个很好的个人成长的机会，把我们的情况下，我们的自我和世界的理解，以及我们如何相信事情“是”或“应该是”，是严重的挑战。在这篇文章中，作者认为，在美国，文化层面往往被忽视，在我们的个人成长的理解，因为美国的个人主义模糊了文化的作用，在宪法的自我和理解这一层面作出了至关重要的贡献，自我理解。他们还认为跨文化接触具有潜在的创造性，并利用创造力心理学来探索这一观点的含义。最后，作者认为，要取得最大的效果，人本主义心理学必须回归其存在主义现象学心理学和哲学的根源，并将自我理解为一种文化现象。
Cross-cultural encounters can provide an excellent opportunity forpersonal growth by placing us in situations where ourunderstanding of self and world, and of how we believe things “are” or “shouldbe,” is severely challenged. In this article, the authors argue that inthe United States, the cultural dimension is often overlooked in ourunderstanding of personal growth because U.S. individualismobscures the role of culture in the constitution of the self and thatunderstanding this dimension makes a vital contribution toselfunderstanding. They also view cross-cultural encounters aspotentially creative and draw on the psychology of creativity to explorethe implications of this view. The authors conclude by arguing thatto have the greatest effect, humanistic psychology must both returnto its roots in existential-phenomenological psychology andphilosophy and tackle its own understanding of the self as a culturallysituated phenomenon.
