“…As may be predicted, as compared to non-movers, frequent movers are more likely to rate personality traits as more central and group affiliations as less central in their identity and have an extensive friendship network (Oishi 2010). Intriguingly, baseball fans in residentially stable cities tend to support their local professional baseball teams even when the teams are struggling (showing a strong sense of oneÕs identity to their own local teams), but those in residentially mobile cities tend to support their teams only when the teams play well and, thus, they are instrumental in boosting their individual self-esteem (Oishi et al 2007). …”

Current research on culture focuses on independence and interdependence and documents numerous East-West psychological differences, with an increasing emphasis placed on cognitive mediating mechanisms. Lost in this literature is a time-honored idea of culture as a collective process composed of cross-generationally transmitted values and associated behavioral patterns (i.e., practices). A new model of neuro-culture interaction proposed here addresses this conceptual gap by hypothesizing that the brain serves as a crucial site that accumulates effects of cultural experience, insofar as neural connectivity is likely modified through sustained engagement in cultural practices. Thus, culture is “embrained,” and moreover, this process requires no cognitive mediation. The model is supported in a review of empirical evidence regarding (a) collective-level factors involved in both production and adoption of cultural values and practices and (b) neural changes that result from engagement in cultural practices. Future directions of research on culture, mind, and the brain are discussed.

“…Another potential confounder could be the length of residence in a particular neighborhood. Length of residence has been found to be linked to feelings of commitment and responsibility toward a neighborhood (e.g., Brown, Perkins, & Brown, 2003;Hipp & Perrin, 2006;Oishi et al, 2007) and may correlate with recycling behavior where community members would need to learn where they could recycle and might need to develop a habit to recycle consistently. Although we lack a precise measure for length of residence, home ownership provides a proxy (e.g., Aaronson, 2000;DiPasquale & Glaeser 1999;Rossi & Weber 1996).…”

Thou Shalt Recycle: How Social Norms of Environmental Protection Narrow the Scope of the Low-Cost Hypothesis

According to the “low-cost hypothesis” (LCH), attitudes explain behavior only if complying with personal convictions requires little effort. Environmental research has seized this argument to explain moderate participation in pro-environmental action against a backdrop of rising environmental awareness. However, evidence for the LCH remains ambiguous, and recent studies have reported contradictory results. Here, we reconcile prior findings on household waste recycling and argue that many environmental behaviors evolved into every day, “normal” practices increasingly encouraged by social norms, and thus slip out of the LCH’s scope. We combine a natural experiment exploiting households’ variation in geocoded walking distances to drop-off recycling sites in Munich, Germany ( N = 754) with an independent online survey ( N = 640) measuring local intensities of recycling norms for two distinct waste categories, plastics and glass. Our results suggest that normative change narrows the LCH’s scope to include only environmental action for which normative expectations are weak.

“…The increased mobility of residents would collapse local communities, and further damage the strength of community attachment (Kasarda and Janowitz 1974). On the other hand, residential stability can result in stronger identification with one's community, which was found by Oishi et al (2007) who preceded a series of experimental studies on the emotional and behavioral consequences of residential stability. However, according to the concept of emotional attachment, residents with stronger identification with their community can also result in higher residential stability.…”

Home Bias and the Real Estate Prices

This paper argues that the Home Bias phenomenon prevails in the real estate market, which is inferred from psychology, economic, and financial literature. Utilizing the trait of the Home bias behavior, which can reduce the risk of information asymmetry, I modify the classical pure trading model and employ the parameter of relative risk aversion as the proxy variable of Home Bias to translate the relationship among Home Bias phenomenon, the property prices, and the expected returns.The comparative static analyses indicate that Home Bias behavior is negatively related to the property prices and positively related to the property returns. The marginal effects on property prices are heightened in situations of high time preference and relative low Home Bias. Conversely, the marginal effects on property returns are larger if the time preference parameter is smaller. As a household buyer with high time preference is located far away from a property, his bargaining power is easily affected by home bias behavior. Further, this paper focuses on the home bias elasticity of property prices and returns for the sake of unit-free property. Inelastic coefficients of elasticity of prices and returns indicate that the capability of households to lower property overvalued prices (i.e. increase investment returns) from reducing information asymmetry by using Home Bias behavior is still limited.
