Folk psychologies across cultures

Without taking a single psychology course, ordinary people learn to understand, predict, and explain one another's actions, thoughts, and motivations. Many cognitive scientists and philosophers claim that our everyday or folk understanding of mental states constitutes a theory of mind. That theory is widely called folk psychology (sometimes commonsense psychology). The terms in which folk psychology are couched are familiar ones of "belief" and "desire," "hunger," "pain," and so forth. According to many theorists, folk psychology plays a central role.

  • "Thomas offers a framework for comparing the folk psychologies of different cultures in terms of a group's conception of reality, ways of knowing, causes of events, and rituals. Folk psychology refers to the set of beliefs shared by members of a group regarding how other people's minds work and about the beliefs that result from such a view of mental life."
