Current research concentrates on latitudinal psychology, with an emphasis on the interactive impacts of climatic cold, climatic heat, and wealth resources on national and organizational cultures around the globe. The ultimate goal is a paradigm shift from the fruits of culture to the ecological roots of culture.
