It helps to be specific.
We often see an assignment that asks students to look for differences in psychological features (such as values, identity, emotion, cognition, perception, personality, morality, or mental illness) in a Western country and in a country from another region of the world.
These terms are very broad, though, and thinking more specifically about them can help.
For example, in the first box, you might type schizophrenia (instead of mental illness) and then France (instead of Western country).
It would be unusual to find an article that discusses your topic as well as comparisons between two countries, so your first step would be to do the search using a Western country in the search box.
Then, repeat the search with a different country in the search box.
In each search, be sure to also check the box next to "Peer reviewed."
In your writing, you can synthesize the ideas you find in articles about both countries.
