Abstract

We need a global psychological science because we have a globally shared psychology. Three universal features of our psychology—conformism, religiosity, and tribalism—have been harnessed over the course of world history. By helping to explain how, scientific psychology can contribute to a more peaceful and sustainable future for humanity.
