This paper compares indigenous, cultural and cross - cultural psychology by examining their theoretical, conceptual and epistemological foundations. They have been influenced by the three research traditions in psychology : 1. universalist 2. contextualist, and 4. integrationist approaches. The goal of the universialist approach is to test and verify universality of existing psychological theories. Cultural psychologiests, in contrast, point out that resumed universala are actually western impositions and not universals. They affirm the contextualist approach and argue that every culture possesses its own unique characteristics, and they should be understood from within the culture. Integrationists argue that search for universals should include the content and context of culture and they reject absolute universalism and relativism. In cross - cultural psychology, two integrationist approaches can be identidied : the derived etic approach (berry, 1980) and the indegenous psychologies approach (kim park & park , 1999). In the derived etic approach, researchers adapt and integrate existing theories to fit local knowledge. Indigenization as articulated by sinha (1997) represents this approach. In the indigenous psychologies approach, the primary goal is to understand how people think, feel and behave in a particular context. It advocates a bottom - up model - building paradigm that examines the generative capabilities of human beings. Detailed analysis of the indigenous psychologies approach is provided.
