The world has been sectioned into ‘developed’, ‘developing’ and ‘underdeveloped’ societies with far reaching implications for human and national and even international psychologies. It is imperative therefore, that researchers come together in this section to deliberate on the major theme: knowledge, Creativity and Transformations in Underdeveloped and Developing Societies” to help bring about changes in areas where they are fully challenged for future transformations.
