Dr Alexander Kirchner-Häusler
Postdoctoral Research Associate
About
Alexander is interested in the many ways that our cultural environment, our social relationships, and our emotions are linked, and particularly in how these three aspects interact dynamically over time to shape our social lives.
His research so far has especially focused on social interactions of close relationship partners (i.e. romantic couples, mother-daughters) from Western and East-Asian cultures (i.e. Belgium and Japan), and has explored the important role that our emotions play for having fulfilled relationships in different cultural contexts.
Research interests
In Alexander's current research he is working with Professor Ayse Uskul to explore the role of honour as a core cultural value in interpersonal behaviours (e.g. coordination, negotiation) and social relationships.
