Batja Mesquita (click to play interview, Right click to download mp3) This month's episode of Brain Science is an interview with Batja Mesquita, author of Between Us: How Cultures Create Emotions. This is an important book because it describes the evidence that Emotions are not just something people experience "from the inside out," but they also occur between people, which means that culture plays a critical role. We also explore why it is important to appreciate why people from from different cultures may experience emotions in surprisingly different ways.
