Dr. Lower's research interests center on the forms and functions of culture, cultural
systems, and cultural identification. Given that Dr. Lower's PhD is in cross-cultural
psychology, he tends to look for both universal human patterns and culturally specific
knowledge systems as they are revealed through various cultures.»
He is also interested in evolutionary psychology, sociobiology, and comparative psychology. Finally, several of the cultural processes he studies have implications for mental and physical health (see, e.g., this chapter). As with most cross-cultural psychologists and behavioral anthropologists, his degree and therefore the research methods he tends to use are interdisciplinary in nature. The projects he operates out of his labs are an expression his research interests. » »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
