Our cultural lenses can expand our Perception Box or contract it,
keeping us closed off to new opportunities. So how do we become
aware of the personal influences that shape our perceptions? In
this episode of Science of Perception Box, cohosts Dr. Heather
Berlin and Dr. Christoph Koch discuss the impact of cultural
differences on identity and mindsets with guest Dr. Daphna
Oyserman. Dr. Oyserman shares her insights on how small changes in
context can significantly affect our mindset and choices, impacting
our health and academic performance. Dr. Daphna Oyserman is a
Dean’s Professor of Psychology and Professor of Psychology and
Education at the University of Southern California. Dr. Oyserman
received a PhD in psychology and social work from the University of
Michigan and served on the faculty of The Hebrew University,
Jerusalem, before returning to the University of Michigan where she
last held appointments as the Edwin J. Thomas Collegiate Professor
of Social Work, Professor of Psychology, and Research Professor in
the Institute for Social Research. Dr. Heather Berlin is a
neuroscientist, clinical psychologist, and Professor of Psychiatry
and Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in
