Culture - Affect

Do all babies grow up and behave the same way, or are they quickly become different human beings under different cultures? We try to answer this question by comparing babies across backgrounds and labs in the world.

Researchers are recruiting 4-6 month old and 9-12 month old infants to participate in this study. Please register or contact Liquan directly to take part.
