[Classic and contemporary culturally sensitive anthropsychological approaches to intercultural communication are considered in this chapter. They were elaborated in the first part and the middle of the twentieth century; however, they were sidelined from the mainstream of psychological science. Our goal is to explore significant ideas in classic, intercultural psychological studies and consider their significance and implications for current/future studies in the field. Major cultural evolutionist, diffusionist and social representation theories were considered in this chapter to discuss different approaches to cultural development and intercultural dynamics. Furthermore, a critical comparative analysis of each of those approaches was carried out and their theoretical implications were identified. Finally, social representation theory, regarded as a contemporary diffusionist approach, is considered as a model that properly reflects intercultural dynamics at the sociological level; however, for the reflection of the significance of individual subjective processes of meaning-making as a core of (inter)cultural developmental dynamics, more person-centred semiotic cultural psychological approach is proposed.]
