In past blogs, Humintell has reported on the Jodi Arias case.  Our affiliates, Janine Driver and Susan Constantine, have dissected and commented on her verbal and nonverbal behaviors.

For those of you not familiar with the case, Jodi Arias, 32, was being tried for the murder of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander, which she claimed was self-defense.

Throughout her trial, Arias displayed poise, control and even some duping delight.  However, after months of lies and memory lapses, she has been found guilty of the first-degree murder of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander and is now revealing very different emotions.

What emotions do you see ? 

Dr.  David Matsumoto, Humintell’s director and professor/director of the Emotion and Culture Research Lab at San Francisco State University was interviewed by The Defense Insider to comment on cross-cultural gestures.  This podcast examines inter-group aggression and violence as it pertains to studies of emotions and culture.

What role do emotions play in aggressive behavior and how is this information used for viable and actionable intelligence for the military?

Dr. Matsumoto is one of the leading researchers in the field of cross-cultural psychology.  He has developed a product specific for learning to adapt in our global world, IntelliCulture- Humintell’s Cross-Cultural Adaptation tool.

IntelliCulture is perfect for individuals who interact with people from other cultures: from the student studying abroad to the businessman or woman engaging in international negotiations.

The Defense Insider’s interview covers the main lessons learned from the ‘Mivera Grant’, and touches on tools and technologies aiding this Cross-Cultural research.
