Abstract

This is a review of the symposium “Cultural Psychology: A new science of the human nature“, which took place at the International Conference of psychology in Yokohama in 2016. The symposium was a collaborative effort of the editors and authors of the „Yokohama Manifesto“ and its main goal was to make this Manifesto known to a wider audience. There were five groups of authors and co-authors who presented their findings in different areas of the developing field of Cultural Psychology in short talks, and five discussants commenting on their respective findings.
