Research Spotlight Series #2 - Does Culture Shape Our Minds? -Evidence From Sports
This talk explores cultural differences in implicit belief in sport abilities between Westerners and East Asians. Henrich et al. (2010) highlight that research participants in major journals come from WEIRD societies (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic), raising concerns about applying their findings to other cultures, and sport psychology is no exception to it (Dorsch et al., 2023). However, empirical evidence is lacking for cultural variations in sports psychology. Thus, the presenter will introduce his own research and how culture affects individuals’ psychological processes in sports contexts. The presenter concludes that cultural contexts and practices shape psychological processes and calls for the development of culturally grounded, evidence-based practices

Drawing on his internationally recog-nised work in molecular allergy, immunology and food safety, he will examine emerging patterns in food and environmental allergies, including the growing burden among adults and ageing populations. Integrating molecular, clinical, and population-level perspectives, the talk highlights how climate change, biodiversity shifts, and urban living intersect to influence immune respons-es and chronic inflammatory disease. This session underscores the urgency of advancing tropical health research to inform prevention, diagnosis, and policy in a changing global environment.Connect with James Cook University, Singapore: Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jcu.singapore.fanpage/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jcu_singapore Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jcusingapore Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jcusingapore And for more news and information, visit https://www.jcu.edu.sg/
