2. PsycINFO, subscription database. Globalization reaches down to the individual. Once persons lived in a small village or a great city, in solitary isolation or among many others, but always in different countries. No more. Globalization increasingly makes every person on the planet a resident of what has been ubiquitously termed the Global Village, and has changed forever the way people see themselves and the ways they relate. PsycINFO, the index of Psychological Abstracts, provides access to the scholarly literature in the field of Psychology which documents the individual's thoughts, feelings, and perceptions in a Globalized world.
