Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Shinobu Kitayama. He is Robert B. Zion, a collegate professor of psychology and director of the Culture and Cognition Program at the University of Michigan.
His research revolves around cultural differences and similarities in a variety of mental processes such as self-emotion and cognition. And today we're going to talk about topics like cultural neuroscience, cultural differences in psychological traits, the self, well-being, emotion norms, and other related topics. So, Dr. Kitayama, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one.
Oh, thank you very much for having me. So what is cultural neuroscience? Well, uh, cultural neuroscience studies how cultural environments shape the brain and cognition. It asks how history, ecology, and social practices leave their mark on brain networks that support human cognition and behavior. And in what ways does it relate to disciplines like cultural psychology and social neuroscience?
