Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Kitayama is an international leading socio-cultural psychologist. His work on cultural variations in the construal of identity and their consequences for psychological functioning has shaped the field of cultural psychology profoundly. Recently, he investigated the dynamic, recursive interaction between culture and the brain. During his stay in Germany, Professor Kitayama will examine how deep anxiety associated with declining trust in social institutions might fuel prejudice, dogmatic thinking, aggression and violence.
