“…Indeed, Berry (1974) reviewed concepts of intelligence across a wide variety of cultural contexts, showing major differences across cultures. Cole (1998) and Shweder (1991Shweder ( , 2002 have helped define cultural psychology as a field, distinguishing it from cross-cultural psychology (e.g, Irvine, 1979;Irvine & Berry, 1983;Marsella, Tharp, & Ciborowski, 1979), which they believe tends to be somewhat less sensitive to differences among cultures. The studies described in this article represent both approaches, although our own studies are generally more in the "cultural" rather than "cross-cultural" tradition.…”

ABSTRACT:This paper discusses the relationship between culture and intelligence. This paper mainly describes that intelligence cannot fully or even meaningfully be understood outside its cultural context. Behavior that is considered intelligent in one culture may be considered unintelligent in another culture, and so on. Moreover, people in different cultures have different implicit theories of intelligence, so may not even mean the same thing by the word. The relationships between different aspects of intelligence can vary across cultures, with correlations that are positive in one setting proving to be negative in another. The paper opens with a general discussion of issues regarding the relationship between the two concepts. It then describes the theory of successful intelligence, which also supports interface between culture and intelligence.

“…People's thought and behavior, in turn, can reinforce differences between environments. Such mutual constitution of the environment and the human mind has a long tradition in social science (Hedström & Ylikoski, 2010;Lewin, 1939;Shweder, 1991) and in social psychology (H. S. Kim & Markus, 1999; ECONOMIC INEQUALITY AS A DYNAMIC SYSTEM 7 Markus & Kitayama, 2010;Stephens et al, 2014). For example, past research in this tradition has explained multiple phenomena including differences in interpersonal interactions (Thomson et al, 2018;Uskul & Over, 2014), social hierarchies (Gobel & Miyamoto, 2022), and economic decision-making (Henrich et al, 2005).…”

Economic inequality is one of the defining challenges of our era. Social science research links higher levels of economic inequality to a range of undesirable outcomes, including more crime, social anomie, and ill health. Social psychological research is at the forefront of investigating how economic inequality shapes the human mind and behavior, but it has mostly focused on explaining how economic inequality at the structural level causes individual level manifestations. In this review, we reconceptualize economic inequality as a dynamic system, and we adopt a socioecological perspective to explain how economic inequality and psychological tendencies mutually constitute each other. First, we show how the psychological experience of economic inequality is afforded by social and physical environments that people interact with. Next, we show that through mechanisms such as self-selection, individuals and institutions can maintain and even perpetuate economic inequality. Our socioecological perspective highlights the self-reinforcing cycle of economic inequality and individual behavior, and it discusses to what extent lived experiences and psychological manifestations of economic inequality may differ across economic strata. We end by discussing the implications of our model for the research agenda in the social psychology of economic inequality.

Attaching shame to hierarchy and hierarchy to some versions of attachment

Attachment theory sees individual autonomy as childrearing practices’ appropriate goal. But many people in the world do not share attachments theorists’ validation of autonomy. They instead believe that they should train their children into behavior appropriate to hierarchical relationships, ones predicated on differences in obligations and privileges. Their childrearing techniques therefore include teaching children to experience shame should they fail to know their place. Little attended to until recently in the social sciences, shame deserves study as hierarchy's enforcer, and doing so counters attachment theory's provincialism.
