On the first day, we discussed a number of research topics focused on "the cultural and evolutionary foundations of the mind" and based on the work conducted by graduate students in the Center. Themes covered included: the evolutionary foundations of the transmission of empathy or disturbance, the issue of collaboration in social exchange, the adaptive values of group decision making, the cognition of intergroup relationships, and cultural variations in social decision-making. On the second day, two well-known social psychologists in the area of group processes, Professor Tindale (Loyola University, Chicago, USA) and Professor Kerr (Michigan State University, USA), gave talks about "Social Sharedness and Group Decision Making" and "The Kohler Motivation Gain Effect," respectively. Active and enthusiastic discussions continued even after the session was scheduled to end.
