Activity or Action: Two Different Roads Towards an Integration of Culture into Psychology?

Lutz H. Eckensberger

Universitat des Saarlandes, Saarbrucken, Germany

Michael Cole's conception of a cultural psychology which is rooted in Russian activity theory is discussed from the perspective of action theory which also aims at an integration of culture into psychology but does so by slightly different concepts. Beyond the shared divergence from classical cross-cultural psychology there are many similarities between activity and action theory, but differences also exist.

Key Words: action • activity theories • meaning • methodology
