Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question is known as indigenization, which refers to the way in which psychology is adapted and tailored to fit local cultural and historical contexts. This process involves importing ideas and models from other contexts, but also modifying them in ways that reflect the unique characteristics of the local context. The other options listed in the question (continuity-discontinuity debate, historicism, and zeitgeist) all refer to important aspects of the history and development of psychology, but do not specifically relate to the process of indigenization.
