Examples

  • In the Berkeley Kroeberian [Alfred Kroeber] tradition that dominated American Anthropology for half a century, De Vos's extensive bibliography-perhaps rivaled only by Berkeley Anthropologists Alan Dundes and John Ogbu-brought international recognition and respect for the field of culture and personality studies, psychological anthropology, and the cross-cultural application of psychological projective tests (the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) and the Rorschach).
