  • exploring the east west divide in prevalence of affective disorder a case for cultural differences in coping with negative emotion
    Personality and Social Psychology Review, 2018
    Co-Authors: June De Vaus, Peter Kuppens, Matthew J Hornsey, Brock Bastian
    Abstract:

    Lifetime rates of clinical depression and anxiety in the West tend to be approximately 4 to 10 times greater than rates in Asia. In this review, we explore one possible reason for this cross-cultural difference, that Asian Cultures think differently about emotion than do Western Cultures and that these different systems of thought help explain why negative affect does not escalate into clinical disorder at the same rate. We review research from multiple disciplines—including cross-cultural psychology, social cognition, clinical psychology, and psychiatry—to make the case that the Eastern holistic principles of contradiction (each experience is associated with its opposite), change (the world exists in a state of constant flux), and context (the interconnectedness of all things) fundamentally shape people’s experience of emotions in different Cultures. We then review evidence for how these cultural differences influence how successfully people use common emotion regulation strategies such as rumination and...

  • perceiving an object and its context in different Cultures a cultural look at new look
    Psychological Science, 2003
    Co-Authors: Shinobu Kitayama, Sean Duffy, Tadashi Kawamura, Jeff T Larsen
    Abstract:

    In two studies, a newly devised test (framed-line test) was used to examine the hypothesis that individuals engaging in Asian Cultures are more capable of incorporating contextual information and those engaging in North American Cultures are more capable of ignoring contextual information. On each trial, participants were presented with a square frame, within which was printed a vertical line. Participants were then shown another square frame of the same or different size and asked to draw a line that was identical to the first line in either absolute length (absolute task) or proportion to the height of the surrounding frame (relative task). The results supported the hypothesis: Whereas Japanese were more accurate in the relative task, Americans were more accurate in the absolute task. Moreover, when engaging in another culture, individuals tended to show the cognitive characteristic common in the host culture.

  • culture and the self implications for cognition emotion and motivation
    Psychological Review, 1991
    Co-Authors: Hazel Rose Markus, Shinobu Kitayama
    Abstract:

    People in different Cultures have strikingly different construals of the self, of others, and of the interdependence of the 2. These construals can influence, and in many cases determine, the very nature of individual experience, including cognition, emotion, and motivation. Many Asian Cultures have distinct conceptions of individuality that insist on the fundamental relatedness of individuals to each other. The emphasis is on attending to others, fitting in, and harmonious interdependence with them. American culture neither assumes nor values such an overt connectedness among individuals. In contrast, individuals seek to maintain their independence from others by attending to the self and by discovering and expressing their unique inner attributes. As proposed herein, these construals are even more powerful than previously imagined. Theories of the self from both psychology and anthropology are integrated to define in detail the difference between a construal of the self as independent and a construal of the self as interdependent. Each of these divergent construals should have a set of specific consequences for cognition, emotion, and motivation; these consequences are proposed and relevant empirical literature is reviewed. Focusing on differences in self-construals enables apparently inconsistent empirical findings to be reconciled, and raises questions about what have been thought to be culture-free aspects of cognition, emotion, and motivation.
