New pope. \u003C\/b\u003EWhen\nthe 266th pope of the Catholic Church was elected this year, many praised him\nfor his commitment to interfaith dialogue. His support of cross-religious\ninteractions underscores his belief that communication between members of\ndifferent groups can help to reduce prejudice and conflict. Seeking to heal\nrifts among people due to religious differences or prior conflicts, the pope himself\nhas sought out personal relationships with many religious leaders across the\nglobe. He hopes that by encouraging his followers to establish similar\ninterfaith relationships, current tensions can be quelled and prejudice\nalleviated. \u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Ctable cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\n\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEh1cZ9x0P3JWJHMU3HFqS1kjtGJAzyeUdBYNnUwBbAG1B_FyqFsBnYVWaPnCAylAz5w3ZNMA7F1AJld4-yd3NKaaE6gMA3-_PEhDoAEgzAoEsC5Xju7vzTAiDhnZN6-z0ZWIrFZelehoPQ\/s1600\/Francis+and+Bartholomew+March+20+2013-thumb-300x199-14011.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEh1cZ9x0P3JWJHMU3HFqS1kjtGJAzyeUdBYNnUwBbAG1B_FyqFsBnYVWaPnCAylAz5w3ZNMA7F1AJld4-yd3NKaaE6gMA3-_PEhDoAEgzAoEsC5Xju7vzTAiDhnZN6-z0ZWIrFZelehoPQ\/s1600\/Francis+and+Bartholomew+March+20+2013-thumb-300x199-14011.jpg\" height=\"132\" width=\"200\"\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\n\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/communio.stblogs.org\/index.php\/2013\/03\/pope-francise-meets-with-ecume\/\"\u003Esource\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\n\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\nResearch on the intergroup contact hypothesis tells us that\nthe pope’s strategy is likely a good one. The basic prediction of the\nhypothesis is that contact between people of different groups will usually\nreduce prejudice. Forming relationships with members of another group can help people\nlearn more about a group, experience less anxiety about interacting with the group,\nand feel more empathy for that group. All three of these outcomes can then diminish\nprejudice. Some research has even shown that merely having a friend who\ninteracts with someone from another group can reduce prejudice (the extended\ncontact hypothesis). While it’s not always the case that intergroup contact\nyields less prejudice, the pope does seem to be taking the right approach for\nprejudice reduction by continuing to support interfaith dialogue.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Ca

the past month, I have been living in Germany and\nconducting research at the University of Hamburg. It has been an amazing\nopportunity! I visited Berlin last weekend and came across a pretty unique phenomenon:\na city-wide obsession with a traffic sign! It seemed like everywhere I went, I\nsaw stores dedicated to selling merchandise featuring the “Ampelmann” (translated\nas “traffic light man” in German) and restaurants selling food in the shape of the Ampelmann. Berliners love him, and even celebrities like Dennis Quaid have been\nspotted rocking Ampelmann t-shirts. How do you get a traffic signal to become a\ncult figure? You ask a psychologist to design it, of course!

The student\u0026#39;s choice in this example was thought of, by the rest of us, as a defining feature of his unique social self (i.e., drinking diet, caffeine free Mountain Dew tells us a bit about what kind of person the student is).\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003EWould it surprise you to learn that this idea of choice is a uniquely American one?\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2013\/03\/swag-american-choice-fixation.html#more\"\u003ERead More-\u0026gt;\u003C\/a\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/feeds\/198489772200505060\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2013\/03\/swag-american-choice-fixation.html#comment-form","title":"2 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6451967208270832502\/posts\/default\/198489772200505060"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6451967208270832502\/posts\/default\/198489772200505060"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2013\/03\/swag-american-choice-fixation.html","title":"SWAG: The American Choice Fixation"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Anonymous"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/08931064542755278772"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEh6BEZdjZZoDeCL2UUIHhqkewoHB8bIcwPK1pT4SyQEUiWDqblCceVCMtntj37yXcevAlwpWhf7pHGtUfAU16hYFqW5p8Skzx7EIjX05SwDRv-Ik-Dq99qcxHWvnQPEHY5OWt1CCSewWyI\/s72-c\/Diet-Mountain-Dew.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"2"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451967208270832502.post-851334587049443895"},"published":{"$t":"2013-02-05T17:34:00.000-08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2013-02-05T17:35:51.443-08:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Cognition"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Culture"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Kate"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Learning"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Living Abroad and Thinking Outside of the Box"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"\u003E\n \u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Ctable cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;\"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\n\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg2P7GvR15yOi38hbPdflB8jjOZFoH6GUAsDTBcSn5c-mR5X7Xb4ZdWvfjnmRBf50AZ3UQ9ieXGOhC3kkWp6qe36l8k_1c54dJK-oYcT1cdfU5GRp-vCgWos7OSlklJf-u40rx3K-9fc9U\/s1600\/big_ben_london_uk_photo_gov.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; cssfloat: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"242\" jea=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg2P7GvR15yOi38hbPdflB8jjOZFoH6GUAsDTBcSn5c-mR5X7Xb4ZdWvfjnmRBf50AZ3UQ9ieXGOhC3kkWp6qe36l8k_1c54dJK-oYcT1cdfU5GRp-vCgWos7OSlklJf-u40rx3K-9fc9U\/s320\/big_ben_london_uk_photo_gov.jpg\" width=\"320\"\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\n\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.theodora.com\/wfb\/photos\/united_kingdom\/united_kingdom_photos_7.html\"\u003Esource\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\n\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003E\nTwo weeks ago, I had the exciting opportunity to visit my sister in London where she is studying for the year. As she showed me her new lifestyle and daily routine, we reflected on some of the benefits she has gained from her time abroad thus far, such as greater knowledge about European history and new friends from different countries. We also talked about some less tangible advantages, like changing the way she thinks about the world, learning to interpret behaviors from a new perspective, and improving her ability to solve problems. In other words, we came to the conclusion that living abroad has helped foster her creativity. \u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"\u003E\nThe notion that living abroad enhances creativity may be quite familiar to you. There is certainly plenty of anecdotal evidence to support this idea and a long tradition of the “expatriate artist.” For example, while visiting Westminster Abbey, my sister and I saw memorials to \u003Cspan style=\"color: black;\"\u003EGeorge Händel\u003C\/span\u003E and Henry James – two artists who were not born in England but who produced some of their most famous works while living there. It’s easy to conjure up glamorous ideas of artists living and working abroad, their creativity sparked by new environments and lifestyles, as in the movie \u003Cem\u003EMidnight in Paris\u003C\/em\u003E. But can the rest of us improve our creativity by living abroad? Were my sister and I right to think that her experience abroad has fostered her creativity? In this post, I’ll present some evidence that such a connection does exist and that it occurs not just for artists, but also within the general population. \u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2013\/02\/living-abroad-and-thinking-outside-of.html#more\"\u003ERead More-\u0026gt;\u003C\/a\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/feeds\/851334587049443895\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2013\/02\/living-abroad-and-thinking-outside-of.html#comment-form","title":"15 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6451967208270832502\/posts\/default\/851334587049443895"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6451967208270832502\/posts\/default\/851334587049443895"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2013\/02\/living-abroad-and-thinking-outside-of.html","title":"Living Abroad and Thinking Outside of the Box"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Kate Reilly Thorson"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/11255571381689720249"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"30","height":"32","src":"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-FCDJEJt5_qw\/TzBUA_PRzcI\/AAAAAAAAAD0\/yfFROj7OKFs\/s220\/KReilly.jpg"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg2P7GvR15yOi38hbPdflB8jjOZFoH6GUAsDTBcSn5c-mR5X7Xb4ZdWvfjnmRBf50AZ3UQ9ieXGOhC3kkWp6qe36l8k_1c54dJK-oYcT1cdfU5GRp-vCgWos7OSlklJf-u40rx3K-9fc9U\/s72-c\/big_ben_london_uk_photo_gov.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"15"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451967208270832502.post-4819364504794964415"},"published":{"$t":"2012-10-03T18:14:00.001-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2012-10-04T19:34:06.048-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Attachment"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Culture"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Current Events"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Cutting-Edge Research"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Group processes"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Juli"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Morality"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Personality"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Politics"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Stereotyping and Prejudice"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"For the Love of Humanity: The Psychology of Thinking Globally"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Ctable cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\n\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgD5sXD7KuPnCNqe-aVNGUAmXI4CR0hknGOdFOZ2Boss5OBYy9xMCscPDPSdI_-JIZPTQxE_QJvnC960fhIRi8JVqE42-CyhUMOEv1u14nJYF1J-PQH5xdVB2S9wQKb7un5tZRUuEqxy_M\/s1600\/evolucion.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"222\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgD5sXD7KuPnCNqe-aVNGUAmXI4CR0hknGOdFOZ2Boss5OBYy9xMCscPDPSdI_-JIZPTQxE_QJvnC960fhIRi8JVqE42-CyhUMOEv1u14nJYF1J-PQH5xdVB2S9wQKb7un5tZRUuEqxy_M\/s320\/evolucion.jpg\" width=\"320\"\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\n\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/m24digital.com\/en\/2010\/03\/25\/a-new-human-species-in-russia\/\"\u003ESource\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\n\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003E\nWhen was the last time you thought about the fact that you are a member of the human species? For most of us, this aspect of our identity is not front and center. More relevant are things like gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion, political party, sports team affiliations, and all of our other group memberships, large and small. Not only do we stake our identity and often also our sense of self-worth in these groups, but we tend to be more helpful towards those who belong to them, often at the expense of those who do not. A significant minority of people, however, seem less concerned with group distinctions. For example, while many turned a blind eye, some individuals risked their lives to rescue Jews during the Holocaust. In interviews conducted by Kristen Renwick Monroe for her book, \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Heart-Altruism-Kristen-Renwick-Monroe\/dp\/0691058474\"\u003EThe Heart of Altruism\u003C\/a\u003E, many of these individuals described a sense of common humanity, or \u0026quot;belonging to one human family.\u0026quot; By contrast, those who did not offer help were less likely to possess this feeling of expanded kinship.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nIn a \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/psycinfo\/2012-16073-001\/\"\u003Erecent article\u003C\/a\u003E published in the \u003Ci\u003EJournal of Personality and Social Psychology\u003C\/i\u003E, psychologists Sam McFarland, Matthew Webb, and Derek Brown developed a new scale for measuring individual differences in this attribute, the Identification With All Humanity scale (IWAH). The scale involves a series of questions assessing the degree to which someone identifies with \u0026quot;all humans everywhere\u0026quot; (\u0026quot;identifying\u0026quot; includes things like feeling love toward, feeling similar to, and believing in), independent of how much they identify with people in their own community and country. They then examined how scores on this measure relate to various personality traits and behaviors. Here are some highlights from the findings.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2012\/10\/for-love-of-humanity-psychology-of.html#more\"\u003ERead More-\u0026gt;\u003C\/a\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/feeds\/4819364504794964415\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2012\/10\/for-love-of-humanity-psychology-of.html#comment-form","title":"5 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6451967208270832502\/posts\/default\/4819364504794964415"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6451967208270832502\/posts\/default\/4819364504794964415"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/psych-your-mind.blogspot.com\/2012\/10\/for-love-of-humanity-psychology-of.html","title":"For the Love of Humanity: The Psychology of Thinking Globally"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Juli"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/11680528427434926352"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgD5sXD7KuPnCNqe-aVNGUAmXI4CR0hknGOdFOZ2Boss5OBYy9xMCscPDPSdI_-JIZPTQxE_QJvnC960fhIRi8JVqE42-CyhUMOEv1u14nJYF1J-PQH5xdVB2S9wQKb7un5tZRUuEqxy_M\/s72-c\/evolucion.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"5"}}]}});
