This article reviews the empirical studies that test socioemotional aging across cultures. The review focuses on comparisons between Western (mostly North Americans and Germans) and Eastern cultures (mostly Chinese) in areas including age-related personality, social relationships, and cognition. Based on the review, I argue that aging is a meaning-making process. Individuals from each cultural ...

We present the results of a new, tournament-style design of a contingent choice survey about management options at North Cascades National Park (NCNP). In our tournament-style survey, each respondent explicitly ranks several sets of scenarios and, in addition, several other rankings are implicit. Inclusion of the implicit rankings leads to some differences in coefficient estimates but almost no...

This paper shows how cultural models relating to the display, perception, and experience of emotion are reflected in social robot design through a comparative analysis of social robotics in Japan and the US. A more implicit approach to emotional expression in Japanese robotics is related to community-oriented social practices and existing cultural forms such as Noh theatre, which encourages sit...

Most previous studies on negation have generally only focused on sentential negation (not), reporting cost and delay associated with computing its meaning. In an ERP study (Experiment 1), we make use of the negation-sensitivity of negative polarity items (NPIs) and examine the time course of processing different kinds of negation. Four kinds of NPI-licensing environments were examined: the nega...

Abstrad—Recent studies have documented that performance in u domnifi is hindered when individuals feel that a sociocultiiral group to which they belong is negatively stereotyped in that domain. We report that implicit activation of a social identity can facilitate cis well as impede performance on a quantitative task. When a particular social identity was made salient ai an implicit level, perf...

We describe in this article an annotation scheme for deep dependency syntax, built from the surface annotation scheme of the Sequoia corpus, abstracting away from it and expressing the grammatical relations between content words. When these grammatical relations take part into verbal diatheses, we consider the diatheses as resulting from redistributions from the canonical diathesis, which we re...

Zinacantec Maya weaving tools and apprenticeship practices contain an implicit theory of cognitive development that corresponds to Piaget and Inhelder’s explicit theory of cognitive development [The Child’s Conception of Space, London, Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1956]. A set of preoperational and concrete operational spatial problems from the weaving domain provided empirical support for the eth...
