Summary
It was in summer 1981. The setting, a NATO seminar on Human Assesment and Cultural Factors held at Queen's University, Kingston, Canada (Irvine and Berry 1983). The International Research Centre, Canada (IDRC) had supported my visit to spend a few weeks in John Berry's department at Queen's. Çiğdem Kağıtçıbaşı was presenting the findings of the first round of the Value of Children study (Kağıtçıbaşı 1983). One of the representatives from IDRC (maybe Kenneth King) sitting beside me commented: “Learn more about her project on early intervention (then funded by IDRC). They are bound to go a long way and make a mark!” So prophetic were those words. Then followed the 1986 congress of the IACCP organized by Boğaziçi University, İstanbul, Turkey, by Çiğdem. That conference has been rated as one of the best IACCP congresses to date, in terms of both the scientific sessions and the fantastic experience of cultural immersion planned and executed with great precision. Today Çiğdem's lifetime achievements through contributions to theory, research, and intervention programs, in the areas of human development and family studies, speak for themselves. At times I have fantasized that if we could only clone several Çiğdems, one for each country in the majority world, cross-cultural psychology would be richer, with non-western contributions serving to counterbalance the dominance of the western world that we lament so much. The contributions to this volume from authors across the globe attest to the impact that Çiğdem has had in psychology in general and cross-cultural psychology in particular.[…]
