Food, Grooming, and Cultural Pathways of Human Development in Burma-Myanmar and the United States UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Embodied Foundations of the Self: Food, Grooming, and Cultural Pathways of Human Development in Burma-Myanmar and the United States A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology by Seinenu M. Thein 2013 © Copyright by Seinenu M. Thein 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Embodied Foundations of the Self: Food, Grooming, and Cultural Pathways of Human Development in Burma-Myanmar and the United States by Seinenu M. Thein Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Patricia M. Greenfield, Chair The present dissertation seeks to understand the origins of cultural differences in the self by examining two forms of embodied caregiving practices: eating and grooming. Although both eating and grooming lie at the intersection of culture, mind, biology, and social relationships, neither has been examined by psychologists as being possible mechanisms for cultural learning. Chapter 1 describes a mixed-methods (quantitative and qualitative) cross-cultural comparison of children’s eating practices in Burma-Myanmar and the United States. The study uses naturalistic video data of 55 children during routine family mealtimes to analyze non-verbal eating behaviors. Results indicate that there are significant cultural differences between families in Burma-Myanmar and the United States in embodied eating practices with regard to three variables: 1. Independence, 2. Agency, and 3. Social Intimacy. Children in the United States are more independent in their eating than children in Burma-Myanmar. Children in the United States are also more agentic, more frequently taking the initiative to eat; in Burma-Myanmar, the caregiver ii more often initiates eating. Children’s eating in Burma-Myanmar involves more physical intimacy than in the United States. Intimacy takes the form of sharing food, plates, or using the same utensil to feed not just the child, but another person as well. Results also indicate that cultural differences in eating practices emerge early and are sustained across a significant span of development. Chapter 2 describes a mixed-methods cross-cultural comparison of allogrooming practices in Burma-Myanmar and the United States. Using the same naturalistic video database from Study 1, Study 2 analyzes allogrooming behaviors directed at 57 children in Burma-Myanmar and the United States. Chapter 2 reports similar findings to those reported in Chapter 1 in terms of cross-cultural differences. Results indicate that there are significant cultural differences between Burma-Myanmar and the United States with regard to two variables: 1. Interdependence in Grooming, and 2. Intimacy in Grooming. Concerning interdependence, children in Burma are groomed by their caregivers more often than are children in the United States. Grooming is also more intimate in Burma-Myanmar, more often involving the inside of the child’s mouth and intimate body parts or direct contact of the caregiver’s hand with bodily substances of the child, such as mucous. Similar to the results reported in the first study, Chapter 2 reports that, for interdependence in grooming, cultural differences emerge early and are sustained across a significant span of development. Chapter 2 also reports that there are cultural differences in developmental trajectories for intimacy in grooming. Whereas in Burma-Myanmar, level of intimacy in grooming starts high and remains high as children get older, in the United States intimacy in grooming decreases with the child’s age. A key finding reported in Chapter 1 and 2 was the variability in the Burmese sample across all variables. Chapters 1 and 2 also contain ethnographic case iii studies illustrating the quantitative findings with qualitative analysis. Chapter 3 contextualizes the findings from Chapters 1 and 2 and attempts to account for the variability in the Burmese sample by reporting case studies of four families in Burma- Myanmar. Using ethnographic research methods, Chapter 3 describes how recent sociodemographic changes in Yangon impact the relationship between embodied caregiving practices and abstract values. While adaptations on the part of Burmese parents to sociodemographic changes often resulted in a disjuncture and tension between embodied practice and abstract values, this observed trend was mediated by socioeconomic factors, including enrollment of children in private schools and access to higher education on the part of parents and grandparents. The present findings raise important theoretical questions about how children may learn culturally specific values about the self. Taken together, the results reported in Chapters 1 and 2 suggest that daily eating and grooming practices may be a mechanism for cultural learning, contributing to culturally divergent pathways of development of the self. The results reported in Chapters 1 and 2 also address important theoretical questions about when cultural differences in the self emerge, with both studies reporting that cultural differences in independence, agency, and intimacy are present even in the period of infancy. The observations reported in the ethnographic study raise important theoretical issues about how sociodemographic changes may alter the relationship between embodied caregiving practices and abstract parental values. iv The dissertation of Seinenu M.

First of all, I owe a lot of gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Rolf Strootman, whose lectures not only inspired the subject for this thesis, but whose door was always open in case I needed advice or felt the need to discuss complex topics. With his incredible amount of knowledge on the Hellenistic Period provided me with valuable insights, yet always encouraged me to follow my own view on things. Over the course of this study, there were several people along the way who helped immensely by providing information, even if it was not yet published. Firstly, Prof. Dr. Miguel John Versluys, who was kind enough to send his forthcoming book on Nemrud Dagh, an important contribution to the information on Antiochos I of Kommagene. Secondly, Prof. Dr. Panagiotis Iossif who even managed to send several articles in the nick of time to help my thesis. Lastly, the National Numismatic Collection department of the Nederlandse Bank, to whom I own gratitude for sending several scans of Hellenistic coins.

At a February 10 press conference, organizers of the forum reported about the preparations and measures for the forum. As of information given by MP S.

The forum will have sub-meetings under themes on economic development, social policy and competitiveness, and bring together over 1000 foreign and domestic participants. During the forum, it is planned to publicly introduce Mongolia’s development forum until 2021 issued by Open Society. MP S. Oyun said, “In reality, why isn’t poverty decreasing while the economy has grown over the past five or six years. We believe that issues on how to decrease poverty and what should be done for the fruits of economic growth to improve livelihoods will develop into hot discussions during the forum. For instance, the statistical figures on poverty percentages are very confusing. The National Statistical Committee evaluates the poverty rate at 39 percent while the World Bank says it is lower using a different methodology to evaluate poverty. Therefore,

Yesterday, while I was planning the arrangement of these pages, the relics in the Arakan Pagoda were seen to fly up towards the spire, and hang there, glittering about the crown. The omen is surely propitious. This morning a Burmese friend of mine, while bathing in the Irrawaddy, was seized round the waist by a Ye Bilu, or Water God, which would have dragged him away, had not the neighbours rushed in and driven off the River Nat. Maung G)d himself has since confirmed the story. " My Lord has correctly heard the facts, except that the Ye Bilu also went off with my lungyi^ leaving me ' a modest man ' to reach home in extreme confusion." There are two Burmas.
