Asian psychology is a branch of ethnic psychology that studies psychological concepts as they relate to Asian culture. This includes psychologists studying in the [{cross-cultural prespective}]. Asian psychologists wanted to have an expanding role in the science of psychology, but felt limited due to the heavy western influence. This change was initially fueled by the pioneering efforts of the “founding parents” of Asian psychology, such as Quicheng Jing in China, Hiroshi Azuma in Japan, Ku-Shu Yang in Taiwan, and Durganand Sinha in India.
