Abstract: Have you ever thought about how and what other people think? It is interesting to wonder, right? Well, humans have a skill that helps us understand other people’s perspectives and feelings. It is called theory of mind, and it is very important for being social, communicating with others, and for understanding their behavior. But did you know that the culture you grew up in can affect how good you are at understanding other people? If your culture taught you to work together with other people and think about others, you might be especially good at understanding others’ thoughts and feelings. In fact, we can even see this difference in the way people look at things! In this article, we explore how our eyes can show us how good we are at understanding others.
