    Running head: CULTURAL SCHEMATA AND RETRIEVAL-INDUCED FORGETTING THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL SCHEMATA ON RETRIEVAL-INDUCED FORGETTING AND FALSE MEMORY An Honours Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology Supervised by Dr. Thomas Phenix University of Regina by Tony Ta Regina, Saskatchewan April 2018 © 2018: T. Ta CULTURAL SCHEMATA AND RETRIEVAL-INDUCED FORGETTING i Abstract An active organization of past experiences shared by an entire cultural group is known as cultural schemata (Bartlett, 1932; Garro, 2001). One may fail to recognize a culture-specific action, behaviour, or concept because it is not a part of the individual’s cultural schemata. For instance, extending one’s pinkie and index fingers upward is a gesture commonly used by rock stars. But, it also symbolizes one’s spouse having an affair in Mediterranean countries (Padmavat, 2013). Thus, cultural-context is important when eliciting meaning to individuals of varying cultures. This study examined the ability to memorize culturally foreign concepts by investigating individuals’ susceptibility to retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) and false recognition when presented with narratives containing foreign concepts. RIF is a mental phenomenon that occurs when a target memory is retrieved in the context of high levels of competition from related memories. The retrieval of the target memory suppresses related memories, making them more difficult to access (Anderson, Bjork, & Bjork, 1994). Narratives containing culturally familiar concepts were used as control stimuli. It was hypothesized that participants would experience greater RIF effects, greater false recognition rates, and worse overall memory for the culturally foreign narratives when compared to the culturally familiar narratives.

  • Food Culture in China: from Social Political Perspectives
    TRAMES, 2018, 22(72/67), 4, 345–364 FOOD CULTURE IN CHINA: FROM SOCIAL POLITICAL PERSPECTIVES Robert Guang Tian1, Kathy Tian2, Zhao Dandan1, and Camilla H. Wang3 1Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics, 2University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and 3Shantou University Abstract: Based on anthropological theory on food, this research gives a brief discussion on the development direction of food civilization, analyzes the facts that people’s diet activities and eating behaviors, in the ancient Chinese society centering on the state political power, were controlled or influenced by the political ideology. It also probes the relationship between food culture and social-political traditions. Taking ‘tables’ and ‘banquets’ as the subjects, the paper introduces haute cuisine, everyday food and national dishes from the social stratification of diet. It proposes that the development of Chinese food has been influenced by the ritualized privilege system, noble traditions and applica- tion of ancient science and technology invention of cooking. It responds to Gernet’s idea of poverty stress and Kwang-Chih Chang’s idea of ethos. Through the power symbols of Chinese banquet culture, a banquet level analysis model is presented to pave a path for further empirical study. Keywords: food culture, banquet level, social consciousness, social stratification, power symbol DOI: https://doi.org/10.3176/tr.2018.4.02 1. Introduction In the ancient Chinese society with the state political power as the center, people’s diet activities and eating behaviors were controlled or influenced by political ideology, and they tended to break away from the material joy of the diet itself and transform into non-diet social functions (Huang 2001).

  • Gidni 57 Kumbh Mela 2013. Religious Rituals And
    Section – Political Sciences GIDNI KUMBH MELA 2013. RELIGIOUS RITUALS AND PERFORMANCE FACING MEDIA COLONIALISM. Traian Penciuc, Assist. Prof., PhD, University of Arts, Târgu-Mureș Abstract: Kumbh Mela is a pan-Indian religious gathering. It is considered by Hindus to be the oldest religious festival known in the World History. Undoubted, it is the biggest: according to the Indian officials more than 100 millions people attended the 2013 Kumbh Mela. The devotee’s main purpose is to acquire a strong purification of karma through bathing in the Ganges River in some auspicious days. But Kumbh Mela has been always a religious fair also, a place where believers are searching for their gurus and “holy men” are gathering their followers flock. Anything goes here and everything is transformed in a performance: lepers, fakirs laying on barbed wire, sadhus reciting the puranas by hard, yogis meditating – all are performing in public forming what BBC has named “the greatest show on Earth”. In the last two decades, media attention and aggression on the Mela festival has raised, due to his exotic potential to the Western audience, but also because of the increased usage of media means by the religious leaders and organisations in their communication and advertising. Today Kumbh Mela is under media siege. Televisions, documentary producers, and tourists, eager to capture every moment, aggress pilgrims’ privacy. Monastic congregations’ use media for advertising and, even the pilgrims and sadhus themselves, capture memorable religious moments on their smart phones. The paper is presenting the influence of the global media intrusion on this archaic event in the purpose to appreciate in what aspects, and how far, the deep religious mentality and mind of the Hindu believer has been changed.
