<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo2">Cross-cultural analysis: Systematically examine how individuals across various cultures and religions use a range of wisdom-related decision-making strategies.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo2">Model development: Create a comprehensive model of wise decision-making that reflects the complexity and cultural diversity of real-world scenarios.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our project employs cutting-edge Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to analyze rich text data and psychometrics tools to survey responses from a diverse range of cultures. By understanding the adaptive wisdom applied in everyday
life, our research aims to develop culturally grounded decision-making models that can enhance societal flourishing.<o:p></o:p></p>
