Abstract

The present paper articsilated that my personal academic experiences in doing cultural and Korean psychology during last 20 years have been integrated into the framework of cultural or indigenous psychology. What I and my colieagues have done is to find the psychological characteristics of the Korean people and develop them into psychological concept. For example, they are Cheong, Han, Shimcheong, Weness, Chemyon, Noonchi, and so on. In addition, I would like to argue that psychology and culture are not considered a different dimension explaining for psychological phenomena. Thus, we are facing the challenges of constructing the theory of the Korean psychology.
