30th APS Annual Convention

Ownership and Endowment Across Levels of Analysis

Thursday, May 24, 2018 · San Francisco, CA

Oral · General

Ownership disputes underlie many real-world conflicts. By better understanding ownership concepts we can devise solutions to such conflicts and promote care for ourselves and our shared environment. This symposium presents an integrative, interdisciplinary view of ownership across levels of analysis (evolution, development, function, neural mechanism), with applied relevance.
