Positive effects of benevolence and prosocial behavior on mental and physical health have been well documented in psychological literature. Within this empirical framework, the present study explores the relationship between cultural norms and emotional health based on cognitive data collected in Sweden (2008Á 2009, n 0128). Ethnographic data suggest that socialization of appropriate cultural conduct (i.e., achieving competence in normative culture and acquiring corresponding cultural models) generally precludes successful recruitment of social support and does not stimulate growth of social networks in Sweden. The results of the present study indicate that individual endorsement of several normative dimensions was associated with measures of negative psychological attitudes (e.g., distrust, indifference, perfectionism and insecurity) in the Swedish sample. Neither individual cultural competence nor informants endorsement of Swedish normative dimensions were found to affect subjective wellbeing in the data, but lower scores on the first normative factor predicted higher likelihood of forming negative mental habits, as did male gender. Implications for studying the effects of norm internalization on psychological life are discussed.The neural networks of the brain that control cognition, emotion, and behavior are structured through the brain's interaction with its environment, including internalization of cultural schemas.

A considerable body of data has been amassed to explain values structure and transmis sion. Values dimensions have been extracted and compared across societies in a num ber of values studies, many of which use quantitative methodology. However, there is little quantitative evidence of significant cross-cultural variation in values. This coun terintuitive outcome has given rise to a doubt if an effective quantified comparison of values across societies is possible. The major reason for this objection to use quantita tive techniques in cross-cultural values research is the loss of culture-specific meaning in quantitative procedures. Using ratings data from two American and Swedish sam ples the present research demonstrates that it is possible to compare values data and detect meaningful cross-cultural differences in values across societies, provided that several conceptual alterations in the instrument are made. Namely, it is proposed that collective-and individual level constructs should be separated when the informants are asked about their values. The traditional approach to values as implicitly individual construct is critiqued. The paper proposes to distinguish formulations of individuallevel values items (that are more closely associated with personal projects and conative aspects) from formulations of cultural-identity relevant collective-level values items (which are acquired in more uniform processes of social learning and institutionaliza tion). When elicitation of values considers this distinction during data collection, the depression of cross-cultural differences in values disappears.

Social Support Predicts Perceived Cultural Salience of Prosocial Ideas but not Normativeness of Prosocial Behaviour

The present study tests the hypothesis that the degree of perceived availability of social support predicts one's perception of prosocial ideas as salient to one's cultural group. Using both qualitative and quantitative methodology, cognitive data associated with prosocial ideas (formulated as values and norms) in Swedish society, including their structure, accessibility in recall and intergenerational transmission, as well as information on social support and psychological health status were collected during 2008-2009 in Skåne, Sweden. In regression analysis consistent predictive effects of social support were found for values but not for norms. Endorsement of norms (both prosocial and pro-self ) was strongly affected by measurements of emotional and cognitive empathy, and by one's general beliefs in human goodness. Implications for studying social learning mechanisms and exploration of the properties of norms relevant to the co-evolution of human culture and sociality are discussed.A social species is characterized by a certain degree of complexity of its social life and the presence of the evolved cognitive adaptations to accommodate it. For example, having evolved a sophisticated social intelligence, humans can recognize and memorize numerous different faces, discriminate between kin and non-kin, exchange frequent reciprocal favours in a manner that provides survival-relevant advantage and keeps track of these transactions. We also can be moved by empathy, form long-lasting emotional bonds, and recruit support from others in times of distress and danger (
