Psychology around the world looks at some of the ways people think in similar and different ways depending on where they live and their culture. The course starts with some general questions of how similar and different people’s psychology might be in different times and places. This is then followed with some key examples: how people perceive the world, and understandings of wellbeing. Finally, the course looks at how well these issues have been studied in psychology as an academic discipline.This OpenLearn course is an adapted extract from the Open University course D110 Exploring psychological worlds: thinking, feeling, doing.
