[PAST EVENT] Anthropology Brown Bag: "Relational Mobility and Psychological Processes"
February 12, 2020
12pm - 1pm
Social ecologies that vary in relational mobility present individuals with different adaptive tasks to which they must orient their behaviors and cognition, and understanding the nature of these tasks and the strategies adapted to them can allow researchers to both explain and predict variation in behavioral and cognitive tendencies across cultures and social contexts. Dr. Schug will present the results of previous and ongoing studies that use the framework of relational mobility to understand cultural differences in psychological processes, and discuss the utility and challenges associated with this approach.
