Culture, Social Ecology, and Psychology Lab

A new master's student, Shuhei Tsuchida, has joined our lab. Welcome!

Our paper "Social Ecology Moderates the Association between Self-Esteem and Happiness"  (coauthored with Kosuke Sato, Kosuke Takemura, and Shigehiro Oishi) has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. Three studies consistently showed that higher relational mobility
(i.e. greater freedom in choosing one's relationships in the environment), as compared with lower counterparts, led to a stronger correlation between self-esteem and happiness.

Mie Kito's paper has been published: Morry, M. M., Kito, M., Mann, S., & Hill, L. (2013). Relational-interdependent self-construal: Perceptions of friends and friendship quality. Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, 30, 44-63.
