Could someone in this newsgroup please do me a favor and:

a) explain the emic-etic distinction.

b) explain what it might have to do with the study of cross-cultural
psychology

c) point me in the direction of reference sources that might further my
understanding.

Responses to any of the above would be greately appreciated.

Thank you,

Charlie Zimmerman
