Why do northern Chinese behave differently from those in the south? You're invited to a fascinating talk on China's two psychological cultures by Thomas Talhelm, who found large differences between people in northern and southern China—and that these differences were correlated with the amount of rice historically grown in different provinces. In a recent study, published on the cover of Science, psychologist Talhelm argues that rice farming's staggering labor requirements and irrigation networks encouraged labor exchanges and tight, reciprocal relationships. In contrast, wheat's lower labor and water requirements lead to the north's more independent and free-wheeling culture. For more insights into Talhelm’s fascinating research see the Economist, National Geographic, and NPR. Talhelm will also explain why Beijingers are more likely to push chairs around more when they visit Starbucks.
