Who Do We Turn to and What Do We Get? Cultural Differences in Attachment Structure and Function Among East Asian and Western Individuals
To whom do we turn for support in times of need, and what does the support from close others convey?

In three studies, using survey and daily diary data, we examined the role of the romantic partner as an attachment figure, and the consequences of receiving responsive support in close relationships among indivi…

When leaders forgive, does it influence follower trust? This study examines whether forgiveness creates an integrity–benevolence dilemma for leaders, potentially reducing follower trust. Across three studies ( N = 1,235), findings reveal that forgiveness has a dual impact: it decreases integrity-based trust while enhancing benevolence-based trust. These findings were consistent across studies with controlled scenarios depicting typical organizati…
Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Self-Change in Close Relationships
Three studies examined cultural perceptions of self-change in romantic relationships.

In Study 2 ( N = 396), Chinese individuals in a dating relationship were more likely to perceive that they had changed in the relationship…

A total of 140 participants completed measures of self‐concept and well‐being; in addition, friends of participants provi…

This article builds on previous research on prototypes of forgiveness in the United States to address the question "What is forgiveness?" in Japan. In Studies 1a and 1b, we investigated Japanese conceptions of forgiveness. Study 2 d…
