In the increasingly global world, it is important to understand other cultural groups. Such understanding will be helpful in peacefully addressing world conflicts, negotiating business deals, and facilitating group interactions. Westerners see themselves as independent agents, and they are individualistic in value. In contrast, some non-Western groups, such as people in Asia, and possibly those in Arab regions, Africa, and Latin America, often see themselves as interdependent with others in their groups and relations. They tend to be more collectivistic. This project investigates the ways that different non-Western groups develop their cultural styles of interdependence by utilizing different strategies of attaining this valued state. It is hypothesized, for example, that East Asians achieve interdependence by avoiding conflicts with others and attain social harmony within their groups. Arab people, on the other hand, do so by self-assertively resolving conflicts with others and by protecting their groups. By studying multiple cultural groups, we may be able to learn more about non-Western and Western cultures. Thus, this project can learn how Westerners typically assert themselves to express their individuality so that they can feel more esteemed and independent. To test this framework, six studies will be conducted to identify the nuances involved in the interdependence-independence construct. The studies will assess three core features of interdependence vs. independence, including the primacy of personal versus social goals as predictors of happiness, analytic versus holistic attention, and analytic versus holistic social cognition. The research will also assess three pairs of subsidiary features that theoretically produce different styles of interdependence. In particular, the use of self-effacement vs. assertion, emotional suppression vs. expression, and dialectic vs. logical reasoning, can all produce different types of interdependence. Those strategies often arise from the ecological context of the cultures. Highly populated cites with greater commerce, for example, should produce more argumentative interdependence whereas more linguistically diverse areas should produce more emotional expressivity. The subsidiary features will be measured across a set of 16 cultural groups from South Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, and across the Middle East, Africa, Western Europe, Latin America, and those groups will be contrasted to groups in North America. It is expected that there will be a broad divergence between the groups regarding the strategies they use to achieve their desired cultural state of independence and interdependence. It is also predicted that the West will differ from the non-West in core features while the non-West will be characterized relatively more in subsidiary features. Experimental tests will include priming manipulations designed to produce independence or interdependence to test their later effects on the subsidiary features. Results will shed light on how cultural groups utilize social interaction styles to produce independence and interdependence. This project will facilitate our understanding of intercultural interactions and provide a more comprehensive view of human psychology.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在越来越多的全球世界中，了解其他文化群体很重要。 这种理解将有助于和平解决世界冲突，谈判商业交易并促进群体互动。 西方人将自己视为独立的代理商，他们的价值是个人的。相比之下，一些非西方群体，例如亚洲的人们，可能是阿拉伯地区，非洲和拉丁美洲的人，通常认为自己与他们的群体和关系中的其他人相互依存。他们倾向于更集体主义。该项目研究了不同的非西方群体通过利用达到这一宝贵状态的不同策略来发展其相互依存方式的文化风格的方式。例如，可以假设东亚人通过避免与他人的冲突并在其群体内实现社会和谐来实现相互依存。另一方面，阿拉伯人通过自信地解决与他人的冲突并保护他们的群体来做到这一点。通过研究多个文化群体，我们也许能够了解有关非西方文化和西方文化的更多信息。因此，这个项目可以学习西方人通常如何断言自己的个性，从而使他们感到更加尊敬和独立。为了测试该框架，将进行六项研究，以确定相互依存独立构建体涉及的细微差别。这些研究将评估相互依存与独立性的三个核心特征，包括个人与社会目标的首要地位，作为幸福，分析与整体关注以及分析与整体社会认知的预测指标。该研究还将评估三对辅助特征，从理论上讲，这些特征产生了不同风格的相互依赖性。特别是，使用自我掩饰与断言，情绪抑制与表达以及辩证法与逻辑推理都可以产生不同类型的相互依存关系。这些策略通常来自文化的生态环境。例如，人口稠密的引用具有更大的贸易，应该产生更多的争论性相互依存关系，而语言上不同的领域应产生更多的情感表达性。子公司的特征将在来自南亚，中亚，东亚以及中东，非洲，非洲，西欧，拉丁美洲的16个文化群体中进行衡量，这些群体将与北美的群体形成鲜明对比。可以预期，两组之间关于他们实现所需文化的独立性和相互依存的策略将存在广泛的差异。还可以预测，西方与核心特征的非西方会有所不同，而非西方的辅助特征将相对较高。实验测试将包括启动操作，旨在产生独立性或相互依赖性，以测试其以后对子公司特征的影响。结果将阐明文化群体如何利用社会互动方式产生独立性和相互依存。该项目将促进我们对跨文化互动的理解，并提供对人类心理学的更全面的看法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持的。
