War and peace in East Asia
National stereotypes may provide a useful social psychological perspective in which to consider intergroup relations between national groups. Autostereotypes and heterostereotypes of China and Japan were explored to shed light on one of the most critical intergroup relations in East Asia, namely Sino-Japan relations. Chinese and Japanese undergraduate students see themselves as likeable and warmer than the other, though they both view Japan to be…
Self-Enhancement and Self-Criticism in Japanese Culture
A large number of cross-cultural studies have shown that Japanese tend to exhibit less self-enhancement and more self-criticism than North Americans. Using Heine, Takata, and Lehman's experimental paradigm, the present study sheds light on the conditions under which Japanese exhibit self-enhancement. Replicating Heine et al.'s study, it was found that Japanese tend to be self-critical when they are under a competition-free situation and feel some…
Divergent consequences of success and failure in Japan and North America
Self-enhancing and self-improving motivations were investigated across cultures. Replicating past research, North Americans who failed on a task persisted less on a follow-up task than those who succeeded. In contrast, Japanese who failed persisted more than those who succeeded. The Japanese pattern is evidence for a self-improving orientation: Failures highlight where corrective efforts are needed. Japanese who failed also enhanced the importanc…
Beyond Self-Presentation
Although a robust finding in cross-cultural research is that Japanese exhibit less self-enhancement than North Americans, all of these studies have employed questionnaire measures susceptible to self-presentational biases. The present study assessed self-enhancement in a laboratory that covertly measured participants’ behaviors. Whereas Canadians were reluctant to conclude that they had performed worse than their average classmate, Japanese were …
Availability of objective information and social comparison behavior
Three experiments tested basic hypotheses of the social comparison theory regarding the relationship between the availability of objective means for self-evaluation and the occurrence of social comparison. Undergraduate subjects were asked to answer 20 items of a musical aptitude test. When the subjects pushed the “social comparison button, ” they could see other subjects' answers displayed on an electric panel in their cubicles. When the informa…
