However, previous research has proposed that the motivations underlying group behaviours differ across cultures: North Americans are more strongly motivated to acquire and maintain higher in-group status relative to outgroups, whereas East Asians tend to emphasize maintenance of reciprocal relationships within in-groups. We tested this hypothesis by examining the pattern of attentional allocation in group situations using a memory task. As predicted, compared to Japanese, memory performance among Americans was biased towards intergroup status difference over intragroup relationship information.Blackwell2010-12engjournal articleAMhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/47947https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-839X.2010.01327.x1367-22231467-839XAA11235034Asian Journal of Social Psychology134303307https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/47947/1/2010AJSP_FullText.pdfapplication/pdf69.02 KB2010-12
