Abstract: It is clear that initially European and then American influence have played significant roles in the establishment of psychology departments and in the conceptualisation of research interests in Turkey. The development of applied areas, organisation of profes sional associations, publications and conventions can also be attributed to the contribu tion of Western endeavours. However, recent social and psychological issues taken up by Turkish researchers reflect changes in the socio-economic, political and cultural scenarios in Turkey. Thus, trends towards indigenisation are discernible in studies related to migration, family, gender and socialisation issues, as well as in other approaches that emphasise the determining power of economic relations, the interaction between cultural and economic factors and explanation using international processes.
