Most psychology research is america and canada (some great britain) Is a set of methods for understanding how the universe works while protecting individuals from their propensity for flawed and egocentric reasoning. People are not typically good at reasoning. They like to to be right and will claim they are even when they aren"t. Science is there to provide evidence to prove what actually is correct. Scientists will look at evidence, and the best evidence wins. *** not about what you study, but about how you study it.
