Question

Major difference between Indian Psychology and Indigenous Psychology

A.

Indigenous is more theoretical than Indian

B.

Indian Psychology has a specific theoretical foundation, while Indigenous does not

C.

Indian Psychology is only applicable within India

D.

Indian Psychology rejects cultural influences

Correct option is B

Indian Psychology draws its theoretical foundation from specific Indian philosophical/spiritual traditions (Vedanta, Yoga, Buddhism, etc.), giving it a coherent worldview. Indigenous Psychology, by contrast, is a broader approach emphasizing culturally-relevant psychological knowledge specific to any given culture/region without one unified theoretical base.
Information Booster:
1. Indigenous psychology aims to develop culture-specific knowledge worldwide (not limited to India).
2. Indian Psychology often draws on concepts like consciousness, karma, and self-realization.
3. Both approaches critique the universal applicability of Western psychology.
4. Indigenous psychology can exist in any culture (African, Chinese, Indian, etc.).
