Program & Book of Abstracts - Regional Congress 2003 [antikvár]

Invitation Welcome to the 6th Regional Congress of the International Association of Cross-Cultiiral Psychology in Budapest, Hungary! The Social Psychology Section of the Hungarian Psychological Association is proud to host the lACCP Conference, and we will do our best to make it fruitful and enjoyable. Fruitful because the congress will be an excellent opportunity for participants to interact, exchange and debate new directions and to explore answers to current questions of interest in cross-cultural psychology and intercultural relationships. After the Conference held in Debrecen 1991 this is the second time that Hungary gives home for a scientific meeting of lACCP. We hope that experiencing Hungary and this part of the world will contribute to the study of cultures in interaction. Hungary is in many ways in the intersection of east and west. This area was inhibited and ruled by Romans, occupied by tribes coming from Asia establishing Hungary, was part for 150 years of the Ottoman Empire and was also part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. After the Second World War it belonged to the Eastern block and now it is facing the European Union. Therefore the ineraction of cultures discussed scientifically has a very a particular significance in this historical context. We also hope the conference will be an enjoyable experience for all participants. Budapest is a beautiful city with the view of Buda belonging to the UNESCO's World Heritage. The social events will give you an opportunity to get an insight about the highlightsof the city. On behalf of everyone who is contributing to make this Congress a success we express our warm welcome to Budapest!
