Dr. Michele Gelfand is a cultural psychologist and author of Rule Makers, Rule Breakers. She joins us to discusses how “tight” and “loose” cultures shape societies. Tight cultures, like Japan's, respond to threats with strict rules and order, while looser ones, like the U.S., allow greater flexibility. Gelfand suggests a balanced “Goldilocks” approach, adjusting strictness and flexibility to suit each environment's needs, from families to organizations. She also explores online accountability, recommending "nudges" to promote civility, and sees AI as a potential tool for managing biases and promoting understanding.     Guest Bio Michele Gelfand is a Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and Professor of Psychology by Courtesy at Stanford University.

Nandita Chaudhary is a foremost expert on child psychology. She served as a professor at Lady Irwin College in India for over 35 years and teaches in Brazil. Dr. Chaudhary has an impressive record of over 70 publications and several books. Her work challenges mainstream views of parenting, child-rearing, and child health. Given recent debates concerning child research conducted primarily in WEIRD nations (Western Educated Industrialized Rich and Democratic) and subsequently applied universally, her work carries significant relevance. How we understand and shape the lives of children is crucial to how we perceive suffering, healing, and mental disorders. In this interview, we delve into how global organizations like UNICEF may unintentionally harm those they aim to help, how children raised with multiple caregivers can be misclassified as problematic by psychology, and how our comprehension of families, children, and mothers is severely limited. Most importantly, we discuss how studying childcare across various cultures can enlighten us about different ways of living, loving, and understanding one of the most vulnerable among us – children. This might allow us to examine our own biases, practices, and narratives more effectively. *** Mad in America podcasts and reports are made possible, in part, by a grant from the Thomas Jobe Fund.

She holds a MA in Transpersonal Psychology and has trained with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés in Archetypal and Cross-Cultural Psychology, and with Dr. Gabor Maté in Compassionate Inquiry. We discuss the emerging role of the death doula and the overarching attitude towards death in Western culture. We consider how people come to work with a death doula, what may happen during the death transition and how preparing well for death actually enriches life. We also discuss how a person's beliefs might inform their relationship to death and the knowing that guides the facilitation of transition. Wilka invites us to broaden our relationship to transitions, and emphasises living fully and dying gracefully. She explains how death is happening at many levels, much of the time, and how grief can be dealt with wisely. We also discuss death denial, how dreams inform life, altered states, and the possibilities for integrating Curanderismo, Tibetan Buddhism and other approaches to the death process. Ultimately, Wilka provides us with an expansive and integrative view of what a death doula is and can be.Wilka is president of the Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Foundation branch in Central Mexico, deputy director of education of EKR Foundation Global, end-of-life doula educator and advisor of the International End of Life Doula Association, curriculum coordinator for the International Study of the Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath and Death, and Advisory Council member of Beautiful Dying Expo.

Over and above other factors, social isolation seems to be a major contributor in their poor adjustment outcomes, yet the underlying psychological mechanisms of their links are not well understood. Based on the Social Identity Model of Identity Change, we conceptualized refugees' adjustment as a major life transition that depends on (i) the maintenance of existing pre-migratory group memberships (social identity continuity pathway), (ii) the development of new post-migratory social identities (social identity gain pathway), and (iii) the perceived compatibility between pre- and post-migratory identities. Belonging to multiple groups before displacement should facilitate both pathways. To test this idea, a longitudinal study with two measurement points over four months was conducted. The sample consisted of 60 asylum seekers in Greece. Using multilevel modeling, we found that social identity continuity and gain were positively related to socio-cultural adjustment, health-related adjustment, and well-being. Adjustment outcomes at Time 2 were predicted by the levels of social identity continuity at Time 1, and by group memberships before displacement through the two pathways at Time 1. Significant interactions also emerged between perceived compatibility and the two pathways. In general, the findings are consistent with SIMIC's theorizing suggesting that to understand refugees' adjustment in host countries, it is important to systematically consider the social identity processes that unfold over time.

Favorite quote of the episode:  “Having made a difference in the world that lasts outside of yourself, to me, that’s success.” Episode Overview In this episode, I talk with Dr. Louise Rasmussen, co-founder and principal scientist at Global Cognition, a company that aims to advance cultural competence in demanding environments through research, training, and assessment. For more than a decade, Dr. Rasmussen has been conducting scientific studies to identify critical skills and strategies that enable people to adapt quickly to new cultures and work effectively with diverse partners. She has worked with a variety of DoD organizations interested in finding ways to recruit, train, sustain, and enhance language and culture capabilities such as the Defense Language National Security Education Office, the Army Research Institute, and SOCOM. She has written about her work in both scientific and trade publications, such as the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology and Military Review, and she has recently published a book about her work called Save Your Ammo: Working Across Cultures for National Security. TOPICS Advancing Cultural Competence in demanding environments. Adaptive Readiness for Culture (ARC) Competency Model. How cultural competence makes us safer and improves our National Security. Save Your Ammo (book)   5 Questions Segment Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? In the evening, I enjoy sitting out in the backyard with our 5-year-old boxer named Arlo and throwing his flying squirrel (toy) over and over and over again for him. It’s quite meditative, actually. Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me, success is recognizing that I’ve inspired a change that lasts and reaches beyond my own reality or sphere of existence. Having made a difference in the world that lasts outside of yourself, to me, that’s a success.   Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? For me, happiness is about contentment and feeling generally good about where you are in life. Enjoying the moment, enjoying the people around you, and taking pleasure in just being there. Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I’ve really come to appreciate the work that you all do in the military. It’s been a real pleasure to get to know the people behind the uniforms. I used to be intimidated to talk to people in uniform and now I enjoy it so much, I wish I would have known 10 years ago not to be so worried about having those conversations. And my silly answer is that ten years ago I wish I would have known that you don’t have to wear heels to conferences! Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Creating space and enjoyment in the little moments in life. In the long term managing the frustration that can build up when we realize that the projects and tasks we take on always take longer to complete than we anticipate.

In episode 2 of our communication series we learn about what is said when no one is speaking. This is non-verbal communication. Dr. David Matsumoto is the leading expert in the field of non-verbal communication—he and his team at Humintell have focused their research on body language and facial expression. Dr. Matsumoto talks about the common emotions in every culture and how facial expressions help us recognize them. As much as we would like to think we can hide how we feel, Dr. Matsumoto shares that our facial reactions often occur before we can hide our true emotions. (So maybe that RBF is saying more than we think?) Learn about how to read others and pick up on what they’re saying without speaking any words.This episode is the second in our 4-part communication series.

Other than air, what is invisible, omnipresent, affects every single human being and yet is taken for granted? The answer is the cultural norms. They are the unspoken rules of social behaviors and shared conventions that everyone is expected follow, but may be doing so without really connecting it to the WHY.On this episode, our guest, distinguished university professor and professor of psychology at the University of Maryland, Michele Gelfand, Ph.D., discusses the concept of looser or tighter cultures and how our deep cultural programming shapes our views and informs our implicit understanding of what's permissible in public versus private settings. In order to achieve goals we aspire, we need strong Executive Function and self-regulation skills that allow us to activate versus inhibit certain decisions and actions. However, without the true understanding of the social or cultural context or the understanding of social conventions, one might fail to comply because of having failed to code-switch.About Dr. Michele GelfandMichele Gelfand is Distinguished University Professor and Professor of Psychology at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Why is it okay - in some cultures - to jaywalk, while in others you could get arrested for jaywalking? Why was marijuana was sold - legally - for years in the streets of Amsterdam when it is only now become legal in the US?

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive

“I spent the whole morning painting and doing origami and felting projects with my daughter – and not only did she not say “thank you,” but she refused to help clean up!” (I actually said this myself this morning:-)) “We took our son to Disneyland and went on every ride he wanted to go on except one, which was closed, and he spent the rest of the trip whining about how the whole trip was ruined because he didn’t get to go on that one ride.” (I hope I never have to say this one…I’m not sure I could make it through Disneyland in one piece.) You might recall that we did an episode a while back on manners (https://yourparentingmojo.com/manners/) , and what the research says about teaching manners, and how what the research says about teaching manners comes from the assumption that manners MUST be explicitly taught – that your child will NOT learn to say “thank you” unless you tell your child “say thank you” every time someone gives them a gift. We also talked about how parent educator Robin Einzig uses the concept of “ modeling graciousness (https://visiblechild.wordpress.com/2015/09/02/model-graciousness/) ” and that if you treat other people graciously, when your child is ready, she will be gracious as well.  The problem here, of course, is that most people expect your child to display some kind of manners before they are developmentally ready to really understand the concept behind it. But what really underlies manners?  Well, ideas like gratitude.  Because when we train children to say “thank you” before they are ready to do it themselves they might learn to recite the words at the appropriate time, but they aren’t really experiencing gratitude. Dr. Jonathan Tudge (http://cds.web.unc.edu/mentors/tudge-jonathan/) of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro tells us much more about this, and how we can scaffold our child’s ability to experience gratitude, if we decide we might want to do that. Dr. Tudge’s book, Developing Gratitude in Children and Adolescents (https://www.amazon.com/Developing-Gratitude-Children-Adolescents-Jonathan/dp/1107182727) (co-edited with Dr. Lia B. L. Freitas) contains lots more academic research on this topic if you’re interested.   References Halberstadt, A.G., Langley, H.A., Hussong, A.M., Rothenberg, W.A., Coffman, J.L., Mokrova, I., & Costanzo, P.R.

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive

We’ve done a couple of episodes on reading by now; episode 3 (which seems so long ago!) asked whether you might have missed the boat on teaching your toddler to read (https://yourparentingmojo.com/003-your-toddler-isnt-reading-yet-neither-is-mine/) .  Of course, we know that you’ve only missed the boat on that if you think that sitting your child in front of a video so they can recite the words they see without really understanding them counts as “reading.” Much more recently in episode 48 we talked with Dr. Laura Froyen about the benefits of shared reading (https://yourparentingmojo.com/reading/) with your child and how to do that according to best practices from the research literature. Those of you who subscribe to my newsletter will recall that I’ve been working on an episode on storytelling for months now.  Part of the reason it’s taking so long is that books on storytelling technique say to use original stories wherever possible because the language in them is so much richer, but if you’ve ever read something like an original fairytale you know they can be pretty gory, and even the most harmless ones actually contain some pretty adult themes if you read between the lines. So I wanted to know: what do children really learn from stories?  How do they figure out that we want them to learn morals from stories but not that animal characters walk on two legs and wear clothes?  How do they generalize that knowledge to the real world?  And are there specific types of books that promote learning? Join me in a conversation with Dr. Deena Weisberg of The University of Pennsylvania as she helps us to help our children learn through reading!

Before we start on today’s episode, I just wanted to take a minute to let you know that as part of my research for this episode on what children learn through reading fictional books, I ended up looking at a lot of different kinds of books for children aged roughly between toddlerhood and elementary school, and I compiled them into a list of more than 100 books that you can use to support your children’s learning on a host of subjects related to math, science, empathy, being persistent in the face of failure,...
