The 3rd CEFOM/21 International Symposium
Trust in Groups from Cross-Societal Perspectives


Date: September 26 (Fri) - 28 (Sun), 2003
At: En'yu Gakusha at Hokkaido University
Speakers:
  Marilynn Brewer (Department of Psychology, Ohio State University, USA)
  Nancy Buchan (School of Business, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA)
  Margaret Foddy (Department of Psychology, Carleton University, Canada)
  Robert Kurzban (Department of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania, USA)
  Michael Macy (Department of Sociology, Cornell University, USA)
  Tom Tyler (Department of Psychology, New York University, USA)
  Mark van Vugt (School of Psychology, University of Southampton, England)
  Toshio Yamagishi (Department of Behavioral Science, Hokkaido University, Japan)
  Masaki Yuki (Department of Behavioral Science, Hokkaido University, Japan)


The goal of the symposium was to facilitate intellectual exchanges and future collaboration among researchers who sought to understand how trust emerges and functions within and across groups.
Specifically, participants discussed psychological mechanisms that were related to ingroup-favoring and/or outgroup-discriminating behavioral patterns and their adaptive foundations. Each participant discussed how his or her work shed light on this issue. Here are some questions addressed:
  # What are the links between social cognitive processes and ingroup behavior?
  # Can we expect the same sorts of cultural differences in group-based behavior as are claimed for cognitive processes (e.g. Nisbett et al.) and the self concept (e.g. Markus and Kitayama)?
  # Is it feasible to propose a "naive theory of groups" that guides the behavior of people in relation to ingroups and outgroups? How should we understand the basis of such a naive theory (Evolutionary? Social structural?)
  # What methodological strategies should be employed in addressing the above questions?
