Abstract:
In this work, a new theoretical framework rooted in human psychology is proposed for what is termed the Esan Psychology. Esan Psychology is an emerging subfield of psychology within the multiethnic psychology and cross-cultural psychological fields. It is assumed that its application will be able to retrieve the psychological ideas embedded within the indigenous Esan spiritual and religious traditions and philosophies. The ultimate aim is to promote further research into these psychological ideas and terms, as their greater understanding and use will contribute to their enhancement.
