Some research ideas & My hunger for doing psychology outside the lab!

how certain types of conversations (related to sexuality, or talking about people's incomes, or people's health issues) may provoke feelings of shame when people from different cultures communicate. ---> has any research been done on this?

Comparing the attitudes of people about "friends with benefits" and "no-strings-attached type of relationships" on honour and non-honour cultures (similarties and differences), and the differential role of religiosity and conservativism (controlling for SES). --> honour and shame cultures especially interesting as for women, sexuality is not to be openly expressed or shared with men who do not guarantee a protection of their financial or spiritual well-being.

Also, remember: Examining cultural artifacts to study culture outside the head could be one way for me to not regret choosing an academic path!!!
