Social psychologist Elaine Fernandez explores how guilt shapes everyday life across Asia in often unseen ways. From Japan’s culture of overwork and moral education to changing attitudes towards burnout in China and family obligations in India, she examines how guilt influences the choices people make and the burdens they carry. But these feelings are not shaped by culture and family alone. Across the region, laws turn intergenerational responsibility into legal obligations. Looking ahead, Elaine asks whether AI can understand and respond to an emotion as complex as guilt, and what this means for those seeking support in Asia. Her journey reveals how guilt remains a powerful force in people’s lives, evolving alongside culture, technology and generational change.
