Recording 3
I’m a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia. I specialize in Cultural Psychology, examining similarities and differences between East Asians and North Americans.
Our research team has been looking at cultural differences in self-enhancing motivations, how people have positive feelings towards not only themselves, but things connected to themselves. For example, when you own something, you view it as more valuable than when you don’t own it. It’s called the “endowment effect”. The strength of that effect is stronger in Western cultures than in Eastern cultures. So we’ve been looking at other ways of seeing whether this motivation to view oneself positively is shaped by cultural experiences. We’ve also started to look at how culture shapes sleep.
We are still in the exploratory stages of this project—although what’s noteworthyis that East Asians on average sleep about an hour and a half less each night than North Americans do. And it’s not a more efficient sleep, not like they’re compressing relatively more value out of their hours. Other studies have found that even infants in East Asia sleep about an hour less than European infants. So we’re trying to figure out how culture shapes the way you sleep.
Our experiment does not take place in a sleep lab. Instead, we lend people motion-detecting watches, and they wear them for a week at a time. Whenever they are not having a shower or swimming, they keep it on. These kinds of watches are used in sleep studies as a way of measuring how long people are sleeping, how efficient their sleep is, and whether they are waking up in the night. Ideally, I’d like to take this into a controlled lab environment. We’ll see where the research points us. We usually start off with the more affordable methods and if everything looks promising, then it will justify trying to build a sleep lab and study sleep across cultures that way.
Why do we study sleep? Sleep is something that has really been an unexplored topic cross-culturally. I’m attracted to it because culture isn’t something that only shapes the way our minds operate; it shapes the way our bodies operate too, and sleep is at the intersection of those.

Q22: What does the speaker mainly study?
Q23: What does the speaker say about North Americans?
Q24: How did the speaker conduct the sleep study?
Q25: What does the speaker say about research on sleep?

我是不列顛哥倫比亞大學(xué)的一名心理學(xué)教授，我的研究領(lǐng)域是文化心理學(xué)，探究東亞和北美之間的異同。

我們的研究團(tuán)隊(duì)一直在研究自我激勵(lì)的文化差異，幫助大家對自己以及對和自己相關(guān)的事物的感覺更加積極。

例如，當(dāng)你擁有某件東西的時(shí)候，與不擁有這件東西時(shí)相比，你會覺得它更有價(jià)值。

這是稟賦效應(yīng)。這種效應(yīng)的強(qiáng)度在西方文化中比在東方文化中更大。

所以我們一直在尋找其他的方式，來研究這種積極看待自己的動機(jī)是否由文化經(jīng)驗(yàn)所塑造。

我們也開始研究文化如何影響睡眠。

我們還處于這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的探索階段，不過值得注意的是，東亞人每晚的平均睡眠時(shí)間比北美人少1.5個(gè)小時(shí)。

但這并非更有效率的睡眠，并不是他們從自己的時(shí)間中擠出更多的價(jià)值來。
