Emotion or action? Cultural Differences in Parental Socialization of the Moral Brain

As part of our No Reservations series, join Dr. Jason Cowell & Dr. Sawa Senzaki on Emotion or action? Cultural Differences in Parental Socialization of the Moral Brain.

Almost as fast as the snap of our fingers (200 ms) our brains can tell right from wrong. This is a complex product of our upbringing, culture, and evolution. Dr. Cowell and Dr. Senzaki will discuss their ongoing international research collaboration exploring how culture and parenting mold children’s moral brains.  

Dr. Jason Cowell is an associate professor and a vice-chair of Psychology. He is also a director of the Neuroscience Lab at UW-Green Bay.

Dr. Sawa Senzaki is an associate professor. She is also a director of Child’s Lab at UW-Green Bay. Together, Dr. Jason Cowell and Dr. Sawa Senzaki co-direct the NIH sponsored Culture and Brain Development project.
