New research from the University of Michigan and UC Irvine explores how living near family members can subtly shape psychological and social behaviors in surprising ways. The study, conducted across different countries and led by Oliver Sng, UC-Irvine assistant professor of psychological science, examines the broader impact of family presence on values like community trust, group loyalty, and support for certain social policies. These findings offer a fresh perspective on the role of family in shaping individual and societal behavior.
