Psychologists have long debated whether self-enhancement is universal or varies across cultures. Extant studies using explicit and implicit measures provided mixed results. In this study (N = 93; 35 European American, 58 Chinese: 28 tested in English, 30 Mandarin), we measured covertly an ERP paradigm. Self-enhancement was also assessed via self-report reaction-time based measures. Americans showed strong evidence of all measures, whereas effect absent weaker among Chinese, who instead...
The present study (N = 55) used an event-related potential paradigm to investigate whether cultures differ in the ability upregulate affective responses. Using stimuli selected from International Affective Picture System, we found that European-Americans 29) enhanced central-parietal late positive (LPP) (400–800 ms post-stimulus) responses when instructed do so, whereas East Asians 26) did not. We observed cultural differences enhance LPP for both positively and negativelyvalenced stimuli,...
In the present research, we assessed effects of culture on ability to regulate affective neural responses. Using an event-related potential design focusing centroparietal late positive (LPP), found that cultural groups differed in their intentionally these As a group, European Americans demonstrated successful up-regulation LPP response and negative valence images, as did participants from Mexican backgrounds who also showed down-regulation images. Chinese not show evidence up- or This work...
Cultural differences in emotion expression, experience, and regulation can cause misunderstandings with lasting effects on interpersonal, intergroup, international relations. We propose that the ancestral diversity of regions world, determined by migration humans over centuries, accounts for significant variation cultures emotion. review findings relate world’s countries to present-day display rules, clarity expressions, use specific facial such as smile.

Empathy has been a key focus of social, developmental, and affective neuroscience for some time. However, research using neural measures to study empathy in response social victimization is sparse, particularly young children. In the present study, 58 children's (White, non-Hispanic; five nine years old) mu suppression was measured electroencephalogram methods (EEG) as they viewed video scenarios depicting injustices toward White Black We found evidence increased victimization; however,...
Human cultures are not static. An emerging body of research has documented cultural changes in a wide variety behaviors, psychological tendencies, and products. Increasingly, this field also begun to test hypothesis regarding the causes these create forecasts for future patterns change. Yet date, question how our brains may change as function systematic environments received relatively little attention scant empirical testing. In present chapter we begin by reviewing literature on change,...
This research investigated how an instance of intergroup helping affects attitudes and cooperative behavior. Past demonstrates that behavior elicits prosociality, both reciprocally toward uninvolved third parties. However, much this has either ignored group membership altogether or assumed a shared identity between benefactor beneficiary. Where been directly evaluated, more negative are often observed. The current study examined the effects helping, introduced during card game, on...
Romantic love involves an evaluative process in which couples weigh similarities and differences that facilitates pair bonding. We investigated neural attentive processes (P3) during relationship feedback within existing romantic using the Relationship Match Game. This paradigm included participant-driven expectations about matching from expert panel of fictive peers their partner. In total, 49 participated who had dated less than one year. Participants showed significantly larger P3s...
