What is a non-universal psychological process?

• A. A process that does not exist in all cultures.
• B. A process common to all cultures.
• C. A process limited to one culture.
• D. A process that emerges only in laboratory experiments.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that some psychological processes are found across all human groups, while others are not. A non-universal process is one that does not occur in every culture; its presence varies with cultural context, learning, environment, or history. So the best description is a process that does not exist in all cultures. By contrast, something common to all cultures would be universal, and a process limited to one culture is simply a more specific example of non-universal. The option about appearing only in lab experiments shifts the focus away from cultural prevalence and toward research conditions, not about universality.
