3 Research by Lillard, Angeline in her “Ethnopsychologies: Cultural Variations in Theories of Mind” (Psychological Bulletin, 123 [1998]: 3–32)CrossRefGoogle Scholar shows that many cultures do not share the same zest for psychological explanation and some even consider the mind as unimportant. Lillard presents a smorgasbord of theories of mind from around the world which are interesting and informative. The upshot undercuts any claims that belief/desire psychology is universal.
