Abstract:

Articles in the Turkish Journal of Psychology (n = 152), and in the journal Soviet Psychology (n = 261) were content analysed to determine the degree of indigenisation in Turkish and Soviet psychology. The results indicated that there was no tendency towards indigenisation in Turkish psychology, and North American theories and perspectives were widely used. Soviet psychology was found to be one of the rare examples of an indigenous psychology. On a analyse le contenu de 152 articles du Turkish Journal of Psychology et de 261 articles de la revue Soviet Psychology dans le but d'evaluer le degre d' <<indigenisation>> des psychologies turque et sovietique. Il est apparu que la psychologie turque ne presentait aucune tendance a l'indigenisation vu que les theories et perspectives nord-americaines y etaient largement exploitees. Par contre, on a constate que la psychologie sovietique etait l'un des rares exemples de psychologie indigene.
