In a recent study published in Psychological Science, a team of scientists revealed that people generally underestimate the positive connections they can form when discussing political and religious disagreements with strangers. Contrary to popular belief, these discussions often turn out more positively than expected, suggesting that our fears about the consequences of such exchanges may be overstated. People are often advised to avoid discussing contentious topics like politics and religion in conversations, especially with strangers. This advice is rooted in the belief that such discussions...

Rituals, ranging from daily meditations to annual family dinners, play a crucial role in shaping our psychological and social lives. Recent research has identified nostalgia as a powerful motivator for engaging in these rituals. This engagement, in turn, enhances the meaning people ascribe to their lives. Specifically, the studies demonstrate that nostalgia can actively increase participation in rituals, which then contribute to an individual’s sense of having a meaningful life. The research has been published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. Rituals have been recognized for ...

New research published in Nature Communications sheds light on how traditional farming practices might influence cultural traits, suggesting that rice farming encourages more collectivistic behavior compared to wheat farming. Importantly, the research utilized a quasi-experimental design, enabling the researchers to more effectively explore causality between farming practices and cultural development. The “rice theory of culture” proposes that the intense labor and cooperative irrigation required in rice farming foster more collectivistic communities compared to the relatively independent natu...

According to a new study published in Psychology & Aging, novel experiences cause greater emotional distress in younger adults compared to older adults, challenging age-related stereotypes. Novelty permeates everyday life, whether it’s new restaurants or the unfamiliarity of a first day at a new job. Such experiences can trigger uncertainties, which might lead to discomfort, or opportunities that facilitate personal growth. As we age, the impact of novelty on emotional well-being shifts, at times becoming misaligned with the goals and motivations of older adults. In this work, Li Chu and colle...
