SUMMARY:BEC - Dorsa Amir – The development of decision-making across diverse cultural contexts
DESCRIPTION:Dorsa Amir\, Boston College Department of Psychology \nThe human behavioral repertoire is uniquely diverse\, with an unmatched flexibility that has allowed our species to flourish in every ecology on the planet. Despite its importance\, the roots of this behavioral diversity — and how it manifests across development and contexts — remain largely unexplored. I argue that a full account of human behavior requires a cross-cultural\, developmental approach that systematically examines how environmental variability shapes behavioral processes. In this talk\, I use the development of decision-making across diverse contexts as a window into the relationship between the socioecological environment and behavior. First\, I present the results of a cross-cultural investigation of risk and time preferences among children in India\, Argentina\, the United States\, and the Ecuadorian Amazon\, suggesting that market integration and related socioecological shifts lead to the development of more risk-seeking and future-oriented preferences. Second\, I present the early results of a five-culture investigation into the ontogeny of social preferences — namely\, trustworthiness\, forgiveness\, and fairness. Taken together\, these studies help elucidate the developmental origins of behavioral diversity across cultural contexts\, and underscore the utility of interdisciplinary research for explaining human behavior. \nThe BEC Speaker Series hosts presentations by renowned scholars from across the social\, behavioral\, and biological sciences whose work sheds light on human evolution\, including issues of cultural transmission\, behavioral ecology\, affect\, cognition\, and health.

SUMMARY:MMAC - Elizabeth Fein - Living on the Spectrum: Autism and Youth in Community
DESCRIPTION:MMAC is pleased to be hosting Elizabeth Fein to discuss her book Living on the Spectrum: Autism and Youth in Community (NYU Press\, 2020)\, a two year\, multi-sited ethnographic study of how young people on the autism spectrum negotiate the meanings of their contested condition in their everyday lives\, in places where they live\, learn\, work\, play\, and love.\n\nWhat do autism spectrum diagnoses do? How do they aggregate people around particular sets of tendencies and proclivities\, and what are the consequences of that process? What happens when diagnoses such as Asperger’s Syndrome expand the terrain of neurodevelopmental disorder into new areas\, then constrict back into familiar\, medicalized forms? How do patterns of cognitive\, social\, interpretive\, affective\, and sensory difference shape our shared social worlds? And how do the demands of those worlds shape the set of developmental outcomes which we have come to call “autism”.
