Assessing the universality of face needs across China, Japan, Korea, and the U.S. using an inductive approach of face needs measurement
This study, using an inductive approach, aims to measure face needs across divergent cultures in order to (1) revisit the common practice of accepting the universality of face needs, (2) explore the impact of holism and cognitive relativity on the relationships among nationality, gender, and face needs, and (3) explore divergent structures of face needs across cultures. A total of 924 participants were recruited from China (n = 263), Japan (n = 1…
When a Family Member is Ill
Extant research has yet to uncover whether cultural differences exist in reactions to family member illness and how observed differences may be explained theoretically. The current project examines the impact of cultural worldview on health assessment and behavior-using inclusive measures capturing a range of health promoting activities-when a family member is ill. Following two phases of study, grounded in Markus and Kitayama's (1991) conjecture…

Predicting Alcohol Misuse Among College Students in the US and South Korea
This study examines contributing factors of alcohol misuse among college students in South Korea and the U.S. Exploratory factor analyses (EFA) on measurements of alcohol expectancy, alcohol efficacy, and accommodation resulted in social and personal causes for alcohol misuse. Social causes alone predicted alcohol misuse for both countries. Social factors constituted a much stronger predictor of alcohol misuse among South Korean students than amo…
Exploring cultural differences in women's body weight perception
We examined the cultural influence on perceived body weight and the level of health practices at a national and individual level. At a national level, we found that Japanese women (n = 80) overestimate body weight more than Korean (n = 82) and American (n = 63) women. At an individual level, individuals with interdependent self-construal were more prone to overestimate weight than those with independent self-construal (N = 182; American women). B…

Holism
Studies on Individualism-Collectivism (IND-COL) have documented results contradicting Hofstede's theory. We attribute these theory-data inconsistencies to construct underspecification. Both IND and COL are confounded with similar yet disparate sub-constructs. In the main, this study illustrates that the West and the East do manifest opposite cultural values as Hofstede had initially conceptualized, and this can be empirically observable when util…
Differences in Cognitive Relativity Between Americans’ and Koreans’ Assessments of Self
Earlier studies on identity have reported that North Americans and East Asians have very distinct views of self. While North Americans related consistency, stability, and clarity of self to high self-esteem, good social adjustment, and strong true self, East Asians, who tended to contextualize their identity and demonstrate high inconsistency and lack of clarity, did not relate these tendencies to lack of self-esteem or true self. Markus and Kita…
Police-Civilian Interaction, Compliance, Accommodation, and Trust in an Intergroup Context
Prior cross-cultural research has produced models of police-civilian interaction that highlight the effect of officers’ communication accommodation and reported trust in police on attitudinal outcomes. The present study, conducted in Korea, Japan, Guam, and Canada and involving 684 university students, continued this program of research by testing a theoretical model exploring the influence of perceived police officer communication accommodation …
Differences in American and Korean Evaluations of One-year Age Differences
This study examined the extent to which a one-year difference in age can influence college students' reported communicative behaviours in both the USA and South Korea. Korean students differentiated themselves far more than their American counterparts from other students one-year older or younger than themselves. The former reported that students one-year younger should show respect and be careful about their language use to others one-year older…
Intergenerational Communication Across Cultures
Age Vitality Across Eleven Nations
This paper is the second in a series of empirical applications of the concept of (ethnolinguistic) vitality into the intergenerational arena. It examines young people's assessments of the subjective vitalities of young, middle-aged, and elderly targets in four Western (midwest USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) and seven south and east Asian sites (Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, mainland China, The Philippines, and India). The resul…

Facework Solidarity, Approbation, and Tact
This study extended Brown and Levinson's model of politeness in order to explain more complicated forms of interaction and proposed three different types of facework: solidarity, approbation, and tact. The effects of three social factors—relational intimacy, power difference, and the right to perform a given act in a given situation—on the three types of facework were examined. Relational intimacy was the strongest positive predictor of facework.…
The conversation MOP
The conversation mop
The interface of thought and talk was examined in a two‐stage research project that focused on the nature of cognitive structures guiding discourse and the nature of discourse structures produced by the cognitive structures. Schank's (1982) theory of dynamic memory employs scenes as the building blocks for cognitive structures that represent action sequences. These scenes are structured by memory organization packets (MOPs). Scenes in a conversat…
