BS 199: Batja Mesquita on Cultural Origins of Emotion

<p>This month's episode is an interview with Batja Mesquita, author of "<a href="https://amzn.to/3vJPpz5" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><em>Between Us: How Cultures Create Emotions</em></a>." This is an important book because it describes the evidence that Emotions are not just something people experience "from the inside out," but they also occur <em>between</em> people, which means that culture plays a critical role. We also explore why it is important to appreciate why people from  from different cultures may experience emotions in surprisingly different ways.</p> <p><strong>Links and References:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3vJPpz5" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><em>Between Us: How Cultures Create Emotions</em></a> by Batja Mesquita</li> <li>Follow her on Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/batjamesquita" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">@batjamesquita</a></li> <li><a href="http://amzn.to/2tLJjyK" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><em>How Emotions Are Made: The New Science of the Mind and Brain</em></a> by Lisa Feldman Barrett (<a href= "http://brainsciencepodcast.com/bsp/2017/135-emotions-barrett" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>BS 135</strong></a>)</li> <li>Please visit <a href= "http://brainsciencepodcast.com/">http://brainsciencepodcast.com</a> for additional references and episode transcripts.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <div><strong>Please Visit Our Sponsors:</strong></div> <ul> <li><strong>TextExpander</strong> at <a href= "https://textexpander.com/podcast?utm_source=brainscience&utm_medium=podcast&utm_camp%20aign=textexpander-August-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">textexpander.com/podcast</a></li> <li><strong>BetterHelp</strong> at <a href= "http://betterhelp.com/ginger" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">betterhelp.com/ginger</a></li> </ul> <p><br /> <strong>Announcements:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://survey.libsyn.com/brainsciencepodcast">Please take a few minutes to complete this audience survey.</a></p> <ul> <li>Contact Dr. Campbell if you are interested in organizing a
