Speaking of Psychology · How children learn culture — and create it, with Dorsa Amir, PhD · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

It makes intuitive sense that some higher order concepts such as cooperation could be shaped gu by culture, but you've also written about more basic aspects of cognition, things like perception, visual illusions, numerical reasoning. voice-verified

How can culture influence those processes? voice-verified

No, you said earlier you started out as an anthropologist with a PhD in evolutionary anthropology. voice-verified

How did you move from that field to working in a psychology department? voice-verified

And does having both of those perspectives influence the questions you ask? voice-verified

Well, given that background and the research you're doing, you're clearly pushing psychological research beyond weird societies. voice-verified

And for our listeners, just so they understand, that means Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic. voice-verified

Weird. voice-verified

But since most psychological research up until now is biased toward weird samples, do you think the body of research is wrong? voice-verified

To switch gears, I want to talk about a Twitter thread you published a few years ago on things parents don't have to worry about, which sparked a little online debate. voice-verified

Can you talk about the c that connection to your research? voice-verified

Are there other broader practical lessons you think people, especially parents, should take from your research and maybe explain what it is that parents don't have to worry about? voice-verified

Well, I I love that you said it's it's okay for kids to be bored. voice-verified

It's not parents' responsibility, right, to keep your kids entertained all the time. voice-verified

So just to wrap up, what's next for you? voice-verified

What are you working on now? voice-verified

What do you hope to work on in the future? voice-verified

Well, that's all great information, and I look forward to seeing more of your research. voice-verified

Doctor Amir, I wanna thank you for joining me today. voice-verified
