Beschreibung: People use different expressions for psychological distress around the world. These expressions are referred to as cultural concepts of distress, which capture culturally specific ways individuals or communities express, experience, and communicate psychological distress (Kohrt et al., 2014). Understanding cultural concepts of distress are crucial to enhance the validity and utility of mental health assessments. For instance, a study performed in Cambodia found that over half of the variance in anxious-depressive symptoms were accounted for by five cultural concepts of distress: ?weak heart,? ?thinking a lot,? dizziness, ?khyâl hitting up from the stomach,? and sleep paralysis (Hinton et al., 2019). Additionally, cultural concepts of distress are important to provide effective and culturally sensitive care (Cork et al., 2019). Current psychological disorder manuals already recognise the importance of including cultural concepts of distress in their diagnostic systems (APA, 2019). There are large amount of research on cultural concepts of distress coming from the Africa continent. A comprehensive overview of the rich and diverse literature on cultural concepts of distress coming from African samples is necessitated to inform further research and practice. However, there has been a lack of cultural concepts of distress coming from the African continent. The primary goal of this bachelor thesis is to review of the current research on cultural concepts of distress in Kenya, Namibia, and South Africa. The secondary goal is to compare the cultural concepts of distress across countries.

Beschreibung: The consumption of alcohol is documented world-wide (WHO, 2018), with the highest prevalence of abuse occurring amongst emerging adults (Arnett, 2005). The motivational model identifies Enhancement, Social, Coping and Conformity as key aspects that generally motivate alcohol consumption in multiple societies around the world (Cooper, 1994; Cox & Klinger, 1988; Cox & Klinger, 1990). However, important cultural influences on these motivators are often overlooked, especially from non-Western contexts such as Africa - where the largest population of emerging adults live. The goal of this thesis will be to review non-Western literature on the motivations of alcohol consumption, zooming in on reported cultural variations and making comparisons to the West.

Beschreibung: Most psychological theories and concepts have been developed in WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) societies, with very little representation of other cultures (Henrich et al., 2010). In the last decades, efforts have been taken place towards internationalization of psychology to make it more global, inclusive, and universally applicable with the inclusion of participants and researchers from non-Western societies (van de Vijver, 2013). How much has been done since then to research the phenomenon from the perspective of indigenous psychology? The goal of this Bachelor thesis is to review the literature of the current research and efforts on decolonizing psychology, especially in non-Western cultures.
