This project aims to investigate our culture’s rising preoccupation with harm and clarify its causes and consequences. It will apply innovative computational tools for understanding cultural change which will create new knowledge of how concepts of harm have broadened their meanings in recent decades. It will explore societal and cultural drivers of these changes and their effects on diverse phenomena including help-seeking, over-diagnosis and polarized moral judgment. The project will generate insight into important ongoing social changes and awareness of their positive and negative ramifications. It will provide significant benefits for our understanding of key challenges to mental health and social well-being.

该项目旨在调查我们的文化对伤害的日益关注，并澄清其原因和后果。它将应用创新的计算工具来理解文化变革，这将创造关于伤害概念如何在近几十年来扩大其含义的新知识。它将探讨这些变化的社会和文化驱动因素及其对各种现象的影响，包括寻求帮助，过度诊断和两极分化的道德判断。该项目将使人们深入了解正在发生的重要社会变化，并认识到这些变化的积极和消极影响。它将为我们理解心理健康和社会福祉的关键挑战提供重大益处。
