一套关于他人思想和行为的基本信念，被称为民间心理学或心理理论，经常被讨论，好像它在世界各地都是一样的。然而，民间心理的差异确实存在。本文通过实验和民族志的研究，将欧美心理理论的几个方面与其他文化模式进行了比较，目的是阐明其差异的程度。在总结了4种类型的变异后，作者探讨了变异的可能来源，对读心过程的影响，潜在的共性，以及未来的研究方向。
A set of basic beliefs about others' minds and behavior, referred to as folk psychology or theory of mind, is often discussed as if it were the same the world over. Yet, certainly variation in folk psychology exists. This article compares several aspects of European American theory of mind with other cultural models, as suggested by experiments and ethnographies, with the purpose of illuminating the degree to which there is variation. After summarizing 4 types of variation, the author explores possible sources of variability, implications for the mindreading process, potential universals, and directions for future research.
