Abstract:
Psychology, the “science of mental life”, aims to provide models and theories that apply universally. However, there is a growing concern that what we gather from studying humans in a particular place and time might not accurately reflect how humans behave in other contexts. This talk will consider how we can establish whether something is a psychological universal and provide examples of best practice, taking examples from the cross-cultural research of percepts and concepts.

This talk will take place in person at SCIoI.
