Do We Need a Concept of Culture?
Jahoda, Gustav
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v15 n2 p139-51 Jun 1984
Rohner's analysis of the concept of culture is examined, considering in particular, his distinction between culture and social systems. His view is contrasted with that of Segall, who regards the concept of "culture" as redundant for cross-cultural psychology. It is argued that neither position is adequate, and possible resolutions are offered. (Author/CMG)
