Latest papers: Paolo Sérgio Boggio, Gabriel Gaudêncio Rêgo, Jim A. C. Everett, Graziela Bonato Vieira, Rose Graves, and Walter Sinnott-Armstrong studied whether judgments of moral wrongness might be shaped in part by who is doing the action. https://doi.org/10.1080/09515089.2023.2278637@psychology
Distance works in time as well as space. Frequency of contact indicates closeness, so contacting someone often can be a transgression. Rather than 'getting to know you better,' they can maintain the same distance as the circumstances when you first met. Thus, many foreigners say they can't make friends with Japanese.
Much use of silence. Large private self vs. small public self. The same act, such as posting one's photo & real name online, falls into the public #self of Westerners but the private self of Japanese.
Most Japanese are undemonstrative of emotions & affection. Standing close or touching them can easily be taken as a sexual or presumptuous invasion of their private realm.
Japanese feel personal space palpably. They make a cutting #gesture when passing someone closely.
Dr. Markus Launer, Professor of Management at Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences in Germany is "looking for a psychologist to research the topic Mood and Intuition. Urgently. Do you know someone? For now it is a presentation at CoSiM Conference on Sunday Nov 26, later a global study."
CoSiM is the 7th International Conference on Contemporary Studies in Management, a free online conference throughout global time zones from November 24th-27th. I'll be presenting a keynote address related to international grantsmanship and intercultural issues, specifically between India and Japan (where I live permanently). I accepted his repeated request after all the deadlines, but still could submit a short Proceedings paper, so you need not necessarily be deterred by the suddenness. The conference homepage is https://institutfuerdienstleistungen.com/en/7th-conference-2023
His requested topic is very specific, but if you could do something similar, or recommend another [email protected]
Looking for a podcast to listen to while you work on that weekend project? Welp, I suggest you check out Dr. Ellen Skinner talking about how parents, teachers, and other students all affect student engagement in the classroom. Groundbreaking stuff!
