Introduction

Welcome to this exciting free OpenLearn course!

In this course you will explore how psychology helps us to understand human thoughts (how people think), emotions (how people feel) and behaviours (what people do) across different societies. This course has been created to demonstrate the fascinating universal and unique ways in which psychology works around the world. You will explore psychological processes, behaviours and practice across diverse cultures and societies.

By the end of this course, you will have expanded your knowledge and understanding of psychology, and how it operates across the globe.

This OpenLearn course is an adapted extract from the Open University course D110 Exploring psychological worlds: thinking, feeling doing. If you enjoy this course, you might want to have a look at the psychology, and psychology-related, qualifications that the OU offers.
