Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
In the present study, I tested selected elements of a cultural trait psychology model (Church, 2000) with college students in the United States and Japan. A cultural trait psychology model attempts to integrate the cross-cultural trait perspective and cultural psychology perspective, the two theoretical perspectives that dominate current research on personality and culture. Specifically, I examined the following: (a) The generalizability of dimensions that measure individual differences in implicit beliefs regarding the traitedness and contextuality of behavior in the two cultures; (b) cross-cultural mean differences in implicit trait and contextual theories of personality, independent and interdependent self-construals, and level of self-monitoring; and (c) the relationships among implicit theories of personality, self-construals and self-monitoring across cultures. To date, the amount of empirical evidence supporting the integrated cultural trait psychology framework in the U.S. and Japan, particularly the elements addressed in this study, has been limited..
