Conclusions about human behavior are primarily based upon observations from western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) samples, especially the United States. One consequence may be promotion of assumptions that research findings these populations more generalizable to humankind than non-WEIRD populations. We tested this with an archival study comparing extent which titles over 5,000 published psychology articles specify samples’ racial/ethnic/national/cultural...
The nature and origin of human diversity has been a source intellectual curiosity since the beginning history. Contemporary advances in cultural biological sciences provide unique opportunities for emerging field neuroscience. Research neuroscience examines how genetic shape mind, brain, behavior across multiple time scales: situation, ontogeny, phylogeny. Recent progress provides novel theoretical frameworks understanding complex interaction environmental, cultural, factors production...
Significance Lower socioeconomic status (SES) has been linked to increased risk of obesity. This relationship is generally assumed be a product low financial resources or greater stress associated with SES that promotes unhealthy diets and lifestyles. We demonstrate here the mere subjective experience being lower in relative others alone sufficient causally elicit behaviors may obesity (e.g., preference, selection, intake calories), independent actual economic deprivation from subordinated....
Despite the potential for COVID-19 infection control-related events to have an effect on child well-being, comprehensive assessments of postlockdown changes and persistent outcomes are lacking.
Culture shapes how individuals perceive and respond to others with mental illness. Prior studies have suggested that Asians Asian Americans typically endorse greater stigma of illness compared Westerners (White Europeans Americans). However, whether these differences in arise from cultural variations automatic affective reactions or deliberative concerns the appropriateness one’s remains unknown. Here we implicit explicit attitudes toward among Caucasian Americans. showed stronger negative...
Globalization has made exposure to multiple cultures not only possible, but often necessary and unavoidable. This article focuses on how people react adapt increasing globalization multiculturalism. We posit that reactions multiculturalism intercultural contact are universal themselves shaped by cultural experiences. That is, culture provides a frame of reference for reconciling negotiating the inflow foreign peoples. Although can widen one’s worldview, thereby enhancing creativity reducing...
Implicit associations, i.e., automatically activated attitudes and intuitions, may contribute to isolated food choices body weight. Studies of food-related implicit associations have yielded mixed results not explored their role in eating behaviors or dietary patterns. We examined toward the palatability acceptability (vs. shame) healthy relationships with self-reported (eating absence hunger) patterns (fruit, vegetable, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption) socioeconomic indicators. Two US...
Henrich et al. provide a compelling argument about bias in the behavioral sciences to study human behavior primarily WEIRD populations. Here we argue that brain scientists are susceptible similar biases, sampling from populations; and discuss recent evidence cultural neuroscience demonstrating importance viability of investigating culture across multiple levels analysis.
Human neuroimaging studies have shown that people living in poverty tend to suffer hippocampal atrophy, which leads impaired memory and learning throughout life. However, behavioral demonstrate poor with high self-esteem are often exempt from the deleterious effect of instead possess a happy successful Here we investigated whether can buffer against effects poverty, as indicated by low subjective socioeconomic status (SSS), on gray matter volume (GMV) large cohort young participants (N =...
Humans possess evolved mechanisms to detect and reject contamination by potentially harmful foreign substances. These may also function in the rejection of violations social order. Here, we propose that disgust evaluation system be sensitive culture mixing, especially when elements own cultures occupy same space at time (culture fusion). Across four studies, observe support for this prediction. Paralleling ratings contaminants mixing with pure objects associated self (Study 1A),...
Cognitive flexibility (CF) enables individuals to readily shift from one concept or mode of practice/thoughts another in response changes the environment and feedback, making CF vital optimise success obtaining goals. However, how relates other executive functions (e.g., working memory, inhibition), mental abilities creativity, literacy, numeracy, intelligence, structure learning), social factors multilingualism, tolerance uncertainty, perceived support, decision-making) is less well...
Abstract Objectives Low social standing and teasing are independently associated with increased body mass index (BMI) overeating in children. However, children low status may be vulnerable to teasing. Methods We tested the statistical interaction of subjective (SSS) socioeconomic (SSES) distress on BMI, fat (FMI), eating absence hunger (EAH) (Mage = 13.09 years, SD 2.50 years; 27.8% overweight/obese). Multiple linear regressions identified main effects self-reported SSS (compared peers...
