Abstract

In spite of enormous diversities, countries in the developing world display cionsiderable uniformities in the development of psychology. After the initial phase of replicative research there are signs of disillusionment with western concepts and models, and a tendency to outgrow the alien frame. Besides recent expansion and diversification in research activity, new trends that are appearing constitute: felt-need for problem oriented research, making psychology relevant to national needs, and effort towards developing culturally appropriate concepts, models and tools of research. There is a trend towards indigenisation of psychology. The impact of the new orientation is discussed.
