Abstract: With the integrated development of big data technology and cultural psychology, computational cultural psychology came into being as a novel interdisciplinary research field, which makes large-scale cultural analysis possible. The key variables of computational cultural psychology are mainly about individualism and collectivism, and the big data technologies (e.g., feature dictionaries, machine learning, social networks analysis, and simulation) have been used to analyze the cultural change effect from the temporal perspective and cultural geography effect from the spatial perspective. It should be noted that there are several limitations in Computational Cultural Psychology, including decoding distortion, sample bias, semasiological variation, and privacy risk, although new method and paradigm are provided. In future directions, theoretical interpretation of variables, cultural dynamics, interdisciplinary integration, and ecological validity should be seriously concerned.

Abstract: This paper aims to review our recent studies using big data to unpack cultural values and their functions in response to social change and ecological geography. On social change, Google digitized books, social media, and literature corpus were used to demonstrate the cultural shift along with urbanization over past decades and economic recession in a short period. And on ecological geography, tweets or Sina micro-blogs were analyzed to examine the cultural diversity across Belt-Road societies, cultural value mismatch and wellbeing in rural versus urban areas in China, and air pollution and cultural adaption in Eastern versus Western cities in China. In addition, we recommend a combined use of traditional method and bid data, and the limitations and future directions are also discussed.
