This study proposes an approach for the indigenization of psychology which is non-hypostatic and creative. According to Professor Kuo-Shu Yang, no psychological studies in the world can escape from the influence of western psychology within the movement of globalization. All local psychological studies, therefore, have to think of ways to handle such influence. This study focuses on the formation process of local culture, especially how it internalizes the mechanism of western psychology, while at the same time nourishes the growth of indigenous psychology. It first re-conceptualizes culture as a non-hypostatic, and thus is a situational objectification and setup, which is more concerned about a grasp on my-ownness rather than an objectified existence. To some extent, therefore, it is interpretative, functional, and ready-to-hand. Yet, it falls short of being an enclosed domain. In order to break through that enclosed domain, it is necessary for the indigenous researchers to encounter \u201cothers.\u201d The contrasts generated in the process of encountering others create a gap, through which the researchers can use to observe and preserve the local cultural framework, while at the same time problematize this framework to create mutual reference. This process contextualizes psychological statements according to the various cultural-situational conditions. Last but not least, the article suggests that it is through rhetorical acts of the situated agents that psychological statements can generate meaning locally.<\/p>\n
