This presentation talks about the relation of Psychology with Anthropology.Psychology as a subject is related with many other social and science subjects.So here I'll be talking about its relation with Anthropology.

1. PSYCHOLOGY AND
ANTHROPOLOGY

2. • PSYCHOLOGY HAS RELATIONSHIP WITH
ANTHROPOLOGY OR ‘THE SCIENCE OF MAN’
• ANTHROPOLOGY STUDIES THE HISTORY OF HUMAN
RACE, THE PHYSICAL EVOLUTION OF MANKIND, AND
THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION.
• IT IS CONCERNED WITH THE SOCIAL PROBLEMS OF
PRIMITIVE MAN AND THEIR CULTURE, TRADITION,
CUSTOMS, AND MANNERS.

3. • PSYCHOLOGY STUDIES HOW THESE CULTURAL
FACTORS INFLUENCE THE HUMAN BEHAVIOUR.
• THE CROSS-CULTURAL PSYCHOLOGISTS DRAW FROM
THE KNOWLEDGE BASE OF THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS
TO UNDERSTAND THE UNIQUE FEATURES AND
INFLUENCES OF A CULTURE OR REGARDING THE
EVOLUTION OF PARTICULAR GROUP OF PEOPLE.
• THEY USE THE METHODS OF THE
ANTHROPOLOGISTS. SO THE STUDY OF
ANTHROPOLOGY FACILITATES THE STUDY OF
PSYCHOLOGY.

4. • SIMILARLY, THE KNOWLEDGE OF ABNORMAL AND
SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY HELPS THE
ANTHROPOLOGISTS IN EXPLAINING THE MAN, HIS
RELIGION, AND CULTURE. MOREOVER,
PSYCHOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES ARE APPLIED FOR THE
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CULTURE.
• PSYCHOLOGY TENDS TO BE MORE ABOUT THE
INDIVIDUAL AND THE INDIVIDUAL'S PERSONAL
SOCIETY WHILE ANTHROPOLOGY TENDS TO BE MUCH
MORE BROAD AND INCLUDE, FAMILIAL, SOCIETAL AND
GLOBAL STUDY INCLUDING LANGUAGE, CULTURE,
SOCIAL ORGANIZATION AND ARCHAEOLOGY.

5. PSYCHOLOGICAL
ANTHROPOLOGY
• PSYCHOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY IS AN
INTERDISCIPLINARY SUBFIELD OF ANTHROPOLOGY
THAT STUDIES THE INTERACTION
OF CULTURAL AND MENTAL PROCESSES
• SCHOLARS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY
EXAMINE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL INFLUENCES ON
INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGY AND THE PSYCHOLOGICAL
FOUNDATIONS OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR AND SHARED
CULTURE.

6. • PSYCHOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY INVESTIGATES
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS THAT
ENCOURAGE ENDURANCE AND CHANGE IN SOCIAL
SYSTEMS, WITH THE GOAL OF BETTER
UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
CULTURE AND THE INDIVIDUAL.
• FOR EXAMPLE, IN CASE OF EATING DISORDERS.
PSYCHOLOGISTS STUDYING EATING DISORDERS
MIGHT WORK TO UNDERSTAND WHAT COMBINATIONS
OF SYMPTOMS TYPIFY DIFFERENT EATING
DISORDERS, THE RELATIONSHIP OF PERSONALITY
VARIABLES TO EATING DISORDERS, AND EFFECTIVE
THERAPIES TO TREAT THESE ILLNESSES. ON THE

7. • FREUD’S PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOLOGY BRIDGED THE
TWO AND GAVE PSYCHOLOGY A HISTORICAL ELEMENT .
FREUD’S EXCURSIONS INTO ANTHROPOLOGY, STILL
HEAVILY PSYCHOLOGICAL IN NATURE, WERE INCLUDED IN
HIS BOOK ‘TO TEMAND TABO O ’(1946), AND HIS ESSAYS
IN ’CIVILIZATIO NAND ITS DISCO NTENTS’ (1961).
• FREUD’S INSIGHTS INTO PSYCHO-CULTURAL
ANALYSIS ALLOWED ANTHROPOLOGISTS TO
RECOGNIZE THAT MUCH OF WHAT IS DONE BY
INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES IS
INFLUENCED BY THE DESIRES OF THEIR
UNCONSCIOUS MINDS.
