SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe (Maya Tamir)
DESCRIPTION:To thrive in stressful environments\, people worldwide must cope with emotional distress. They can do so by engaging in emotion regulation\, which is the process by which people influence emotions. It is driven by the motivation to change emotions in a particular direction\, and pursued by implementing selected emotion regulation strategies. Although our understanding of emotion regulation has grown dramatically in recent decades\, most of the research on which it is based has been conducted in Western countries\, and we still know relatively little about how emotion regulation varies across cultures.\n\nIn this talk\, Maya Tamir will discuss potential cultural differences in attention to emotion regulation\, the motivation to decrease unpleasant emotions\, and the links between emotion regulation strategies and psychological health. Tamir will share data from several projects that were conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic\, examining aspects of emotion regulation across countries around the globe. Together\, the findings will highlight the importance of sensitivity to the cultural context when managing emotional desires.\n\nMaya Tamir is a Professor of Psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. She completed her PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and her post-doctoral training at Stanford University. Her research explores how and why people try to influence emotions in themselves and others\, and how this affects mental health\, social relationships\, and well-being. \n\nGroup Dynamics Fall 2023 Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe\nDo our cultural contexts influence our psychology and behavior — and if so\, how? In this RCGD series\, we delve into the socio-ecological\, histo-cultural\, and economic dynamics shaping the diversity of selfhood and its associated cognitive\, emotional\, and motivational processes. We go beyond the traditional East and West focus to include a wide range of cultural groups. This series will elucidate the implications of psychological diversity across the globe for policies in international relations\, politics\, economics\, business\, immigration\, and other relevant domains.\n\n\nOrganized by Shinobu Kitayama and Catherine Thomas\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\nAs permissions allow\, seminars from this series are later posted to ISR's YouTube playlist.\n\n\nThe series runs Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\n\n\nAbout the Group Dynamics Seminar Series\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent seminars have included discussions in “Law and Psychology\,” “Racism and Discrimination\,” “Social Media\,” and “Political Polarization.” The series is offered by the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)\, at the Institute for Social Research.
