[Xmca-l] Re: FW: New from IAP: Making of the Future The TrajectoryEquifinality Approach in Cultural Psychology

[Larry Purss]

Peter,
Thanks for this reference. I was intrigued because the book is a mutual exploration from Valsiner and Japanese scholars. So I downloaded an article by one of the 3 authors.   [Tatsuya Sato] The first 10 pages of this article summarize a quick historical overview of the trajectory that quantitative research  has taken. Some may be interested in this historical narrative. Interesting contrast exploring notions of ‘point, vector, trajectory’  
Caution: many new conceptual terms that left me confused. But the question presented is relevant. 
The article does show how your posting can then lead to the trajectory I took, and this leading to my sharing this article. 

The general theme of *direction* is front and center in the article.

The Trajectory Equifinality Approach in Cultural Psychology

Edited by:
Tatsuya Sato, Ritsumeikan University
Naohisa Mori, Sapporo Gakuin University
Jaan Valsiner, Niels Bohr Professor of Cultural Psychology, Aalborg University

A volume in Advances in Cultural Psychology: Constructing Human Development

Making of the Future is the first English‐language coverage of the new methodological perspective in cultural psychology—TEA (Trajectory Equifinality Approach) that was established in 2004 as a collaboration of Japanese and American cultural psychologists. In the decade that follows it has become a guiding approach for cultural psychology all over the World. Its central feature is the reliance on irreversible time as the basis for understanding of cultural phenomena and the consideration of real and imaginary options in human life course as relevant for the construction of personal futures.

The book is expected to be of interest in researchers and practitioners in education, developmental and social psychology, developmental sociology and history. It has extensions for research methodology in the focus on different sampling strategies.
