PhD Position in Social/Cultural Psychology: Gendered Emotion Expression Across Cultures
4 maanden geleden
What are you going to do
The PhD candidate will become part of the Starter+Stimulus Grant Project “Do We Even Speak the Same Language? Gendered Emotion Expression across Cultures” supervised by Dr., Katharina Block, Dr. Michael Boiger, and Dr. Suzanne Oosterwijk. As a part of this team, you will play a central role in shaping and executing this new line of research. You will work on a wide array of research tasks, that include designing and performing empirical studies, analysing big data, and presenting your work at international conferences and in scientific journals.
The Project
Despite exemplary institutional progress towards gender equality (e.g., full equal rights, WHO, ), gender relations are still fraught in highly liberal Western countries like the Netherlands. Yet, close and cooperative relationships between men and women—for example, among romantic partners, friends, and co-workers—are key to human well-being. Emotions are a key facilitator of these relationships and communication of emotions is smoothest when individuals share the same emotional language, that is, a shared understanding when and how specific emotions are expressed. However, the way we communicate emotions is gendered in important ways, possibly leading to miscommunications and disconnection between men and women. To date, little work has systematically mapped how cultural contexts shape gendered emotions. This overlooks a potential explanation for the contradictory observation that gender segregation appears highest cultural contexts that value gender equality most. This project will examine I) how gender differences in emotions
