Adopting the principles and methods of a non-Western school of thought, like Buddhist Psychology, would likely influence how bias is framed in educational psychology. The Western perspective often emphasizes cognitive and socio-cultural factors contributing to bias. Integrating a non-Western approach might involve considering biases through the lens of mindfulness, interconnectedness, and the impermanence of perceptions. This shift could prompt a broader exploration of biases rooted in desires, expectations, and the construction of the self. Buddhists were deeply concerned with how processes of affective bias were operating at the deepest levels of the mind and how we ought to conceive of their influence on our ordinary processes of perception and cognition (Smith, 2019). While the core topic of bias in educational psychology could remain, the non-Western perspective might encourage a more holistic understanding of biases and their interconnected relationship with the mind. Buddhism stresses eschewing purely material pleasures and focuses instead on social and environmental responsibility in production, distribution, and exchange (Norberg-Hodge, 1997). Adapting the non-Western school of thought could thus lead to a nuanced reevaluation of the research topic, introducing different values and practices that may enrich the understanding of bias in educational settings. Buddhism encourages people to be honest and responsible. References Norberg-Hodge, H.
