TL;DR: It is found that relationships are more stable and hard to form in east Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East, while they are more fluid in the West and Latin America, and results show that relationally mobile cultures tend to have higher interpersonal trust and intimacy.
Abstract: Biologists and social scientists have long tried to understand why some societies have more fluid and open interpersonal relationships and how those differences influence culture. This study measures relational mobility, a socioecological variable quantifying voluntary (high relational mobility) vs. fixed (low relational mobility) interpersonal relationships. We measure relational mobility in 39 societies and test whether it predicts social behavior. People in societies with higher relational mobility report more proactive interpersonal behaviors (e.g., self-disclosure and social support) and psychological tendencies that help them build and retain relationships (e.g., general trust, intimacy, self-esteem). Finally, we explore ecological factors that could explain relational mobility differences across societies. Relational mobility was lower in societies that practiced settled, interdependent subsistence styles, such as rice farming, and in societies that had stronger ecological and historical threats.

TL;DR: The results provide key evidence for understanding the principle of embodied cognition and particularly demonstrate that high-level moral disgust is built on more basic disgust via a mental construction approach through a process of embodied schemata.
Abstract: The insula is thought to be involved in disgust. However, the roles of the posterior insula (PI) and anterior insula (AI) in moral disgust have not been clearly dissociated in previous studies. In this functional magnetic resonance imaging study, the participants evaluated the degree of disgust using sentences related to mild moral violations with different types of behavioral agents (mother and stranger). The activation of the PI in response to the stranger agent was significantly higher than that in response to the mother agent. In contrast, the activation of the AI in response to the mother agent was significantly higher than that in response to the stranger agent. These data suggest a clear functional dissociation between the PI and AI in which the PI is more involved in the primary level of moral disgust than is the AI, and the AI is more involved in the secondary level of moral disgust than is the PI. Our results provide key evidence for understanding the principle of embodied cognition and particularly demonstrate that high-level moral disgust is built on more basic disgust via a mental construction approach through a process of embodied schemata.

TL;DR: The authors found evidence for this hypothesis in two studies and found that individuals are willing to relinquish personal control and choose to be an amorphous entity in a behaviorally homogeneous group when under physical threat because such groups increase the effectiveness in mobilizing collective effort.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take a different theoretical perspective: that of creating professional biculturalism in order to effectively manage the RDM interface and thereby enhance creativity and productivity in the innovation process.
Abstract: Literature on technology and innovation management has identified the research and development (R&D) and marketing (RDM) interface as a critical organizational complexity that when managed well can affect company success in innovation. Cross-functional teams and collaboration mechanisms, such as boundary spanners, have been identified as solutions to the problems in communication between the two groups. However, these methods have not been as effective as desired and questions still exist as to how boundary spanners are created for success at this crucial interface. This chapter takes a different theoretical perspective: that of creating professional biculturalism in order to effectively manage the RDM interface and thereby enhance creativity and productivity in the innovation process. The culture pertaining to R&D personnel or technologists, meaning engineers and “hard” scientists, can be referred to as the T-culture. The culture pertaining to marketing or social “soft” scientists (meaning business, sociology, psychology, etc.) can be referred to as the S-culture. Each of these cultures has its own practitioners; languages; modes of analysis; mores; and standards of validation. This chapter specifies propositions regarding the importance of professional biculturalism in bridging the disconnect between the T and S cultures. A professional bicultural is a person who possesses insider knowledge of both cultures. This chapter also enunciates the effectiveness of professional biculturalism enculturation training. This chapter has implications for managers of not only the RDM interface, but also other areas of the company where disparate professional cultures intersect and present a barrier to effective innovation. Innovation and product development require a high degree of integrated problem solving across different scientific, technical and functional domains. When individuals are professionally bicultural, it affords the RDM interface a critical component of integrality. Managers should look to developing a training program to inculcate professional biculturalism in their employees.

TL;DR: This article measured relational mobility, a socio-ecological variable quantifying voluntary (high relational mobility) versus fixed (low relational mobility), and found that people in societies with higher relational mobility report more pro-active interpersonal behaviors and psychological tendencies that help them build and retain relationships.
