Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology publishes papers that focus on the interrelations between culture and psychological processes. Submitted manuscripts may report results from either cross-cultural comparative research or single culture studies. Research that concerns the ways in which culture, and related concepts such as ethnicity, affects the thinking and behavior of individuals, as well as how individual thought and behavior define and reflect aspects of culture are appropriate for the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology.

Cultural Variation and Similarity in Moral Rhetorics Past research on morality has emphasized a single justice-based moral ethic. Expanding this conception of morality, Shweder has proposed a universal taxonomy of three moral rhetorics related to justice, interdependence, and purity. Five studies tested the hypothesis that American morality emphasizes the justice-based rhetoric, whereas Filipino morality is represented by all three rhetorics. In the first three studies, American examples were modally justice based, whereas Filipinos generated examples in approximately equal proportions from each rhetoric. In Study 4, Americans rated justice-based rules higher on criteria of morality than rules from other rhetorics; Filipinos rated rules from all three rhetorics as moral. In Study 5, the association between anger and moral violations was stronger for Americans than for Filipinos, consistent with American emphasis on the moral stature of justice. Discussion focused on the origins and consequences of the American emphasis on rights and the balanced representation of morality observed in Filipinos.

Biculturalism and Adjustment Biculturalism (having two cultures) is a growing social phenomenon that has received considerable attention in psychology in the last decade; however, the issue of what impact (if any) biculturalism has on individuals’ adjustment remains empirically unclear. To answer this question, we conducted a meta-analysis that included 83 studies, 322 rs, and 23,197 participants. Results based on the random-effects approach show a significant, strong, and positive association between biculturalism and adjustment (both psychological and sociocultural). This biculturalism- adjustment link is stronger than the association between having one culture (dominant or heritage) and adjustment. Thus, our results clearly invalidate early sociological accounts of this phenomenon, which portrayed bicultural individuals as “marginal” and stumped between two worlds. Analyses also indicate that the association between biculturalism and adjustment is moderated by how acculturation is measured, the adjustment domain, and sample characteristics.

Culture, Self-Construal, and Embarrassability This study investigates individual and cultural differences in embarrassability (i.e., susceptibility to embarrassment). Three hypotheses are formulated. First, the strength of the independent self-construal (the image of self as separate from others) is negatively correlated with embarrassability. Second, the strength of the interdependent self-construal (the image of self as connected with others) is positively associated with embarrassability. Third, Asian Americans are more susceptible to embarrassment than are Euro-Americans. A total of 503 Euro-American and Asian American -university students completed the Self-Construal Scale and the Embarrassability Scale. Results strongly supported all hypotheses. Further, individual differences in self-construal accounted for cultural differences in embarrassability. Many prior studies have associated embarrassability with social deficiencies; the authors propose that embarrassability be viewed in abroader cultural context that considers its functions as an adaptive mechanism.

Culture, Stress, and Coping Two studies examined internally and externally targeted control strategies in response to life stressors in European Canadians, East Asian Canadians, and Japanese. In Study 1, European Canadian, East Asian Canadian, and sojourning Japanese university students in Canada recalled a stressful life event and reported their coping strategies. Respondents also reported current and retrospective self-evaluations that allowed assessment of perceived self-changes over time. Study 2 included East Asian Canadian and European Canadian university students in Canada and Japanese university students in Japan. Both studies revealed that several types of internally targeted control strategies were more prevalent among East Asian participants but that a particular type of internally targeted control strategy, self-enhancing interpretive control, was more prevalent among people with Western English-speaking backgrounds.

Ethnic Role Salience in Racially Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Societies Hawaiian-Japanese, Japanese, and Australian subjects were presented with a slide depicting either a Japanese or a Caucasian couple, and asked to describe three ways in which the two persons in the picture were similar. The dependent variable was ethnic role salience, measured in terms of the frequency and rank order of ethnic trait references appearing spontaneously in the descriptions. Contrary to orthodox role theory, but as predicted by McGuire's distinctiveness theory of selective perception, the Japanese described the Caucasian but not the Japanese couple in ethnic terms, the Australians described the Japanese but not the Caucasian couple in ethnic terms, and the Hawaiian-Japanese described both the Japanese and the Caucasian couple in ethnic terms.

National Role Evocation as a Function of Cross-National Interaction The hypothesis that a cross-national interaction increases ethnic role salience was investigated in a laboratory setting. Subjects and confederates engaged in free social interaction, and sub-sequently Ss were required to describe the other person, how they thought the other person perceived them, and how they saw themselves. The experiment was run under three conditions: a) Australian Ss interacting with an Australian confederate (C); b) Australian Ss interacting with an Asian C; and c) Asian Ss interacting with an Australian C. The frequency of ethnic or racial references in the three response categories constituted the dependent variable. More ethnic responses occurred in the two cross-national conditions than in the nationally homogeneous group; and in the cross-national conditions, Asian Ss gave more ethnic responses than Australian Ss, this effect being mainly accounted for by differences in perceived ethnic role attribution. The implications of heightened national role awareness on race relations were briefly discussed.

Culture, Ethnicity, and Emotional Distress Measures Research suggests that Asians consistently score higher than European Americans on measures of emotional distress. Extending previous research, the current study found that self-report measures of depression, social avoidance and distress, and fear of negative evaluation were positively related to a self-report measure of interdependent self-construal, negatively related to a self-report measure of independent self-construal, or both. Furthermore, distress measures varied inversely with relative self-enhancement, an indigenous constituent of the independent self but not of the interdependent self. Results suggest that certain commonly used measures of depression and social anxiety may tend to equate the moderately self-enhancing goals of an independent self with mental health, whereas responses reflecting culturally prescribed goals of an interdependent self may be seen as indicating emotional distress. The cultural appropriateness of standardized measures of emotional distress when applied to Asians was raised as a concern.

Cultural Model of Vulnerability to Distress: The Role of Self-Construal and Sociotropy on Anxiety and Depression Among Asian Americans and European Americans The present study tested a structural equation model of the association between self-construal, sociotropy, anxiety, and depression across two ethnic groups ( n = 212 for Asian Americans and n = 202 for European Americans). The results provided support for a unified model that was applicable in explaining distress experiences among both ethnic groups. Interdependent self-construal predisposes a person to develop sociotropy and consequent depression via a heightened level of anxiety. Despite this indirect pathway from interdependent self-construal to depression, however, interdependent self-construal in and of itself was found to be negatively related to depression. On the other hand, independent self-construal protects a person from developing sociotropy and subsequent distress experiences. The findings provided support to the link between anxiety and depression. Implications to person-environment fit are discussed.

Hudson's Pictures in Pandora's Box Highly sophisticated Europeans and unsophisticated Zambians responded to two of Hudson's Pictorial Perception Test stimuli displayed in "Pandora's Box. " Neither the application of Hudson's nor of "Pandora's Box" procedure yielded evidence of depth perception in the case of the Zambian samples. The European sample responding to the "Pandora's Box" procedure did perceive depth in the stimulus containing both overlap and familiar size cues, and failed to do so in response to the stimulus containing familiar size cues only. The hypothesis that the two populations will not differ on the task and will both fail to perceive depth as measured by "Pandora's Box" was therefore rejected, as was the hypothesis that the reduction of background cues occurring in the box would lead to an increase in the number of 3-D responses.

Back-Translation for Cross-Cultural Research Two aspects of translation were investigated: (1) factors that affect translation quality, and (2) how equivalence between source and target versions can be evaluated. The variables of language, content, and difficulty were studied through an analysis of variance design. Ninety-four bilinguals from the University of Guam, representing ten languages, translated or back-translated six essays incorporating three content areas and two levels of difficulty. The five criteria for equivalence were based on comparisons of meaning or predictions of similar responses to original or translated versions. The factors of content, difficulty, language and content-language interaction were significant, and the five equivalence criteria proved workable. Conclusions are that translation quality can be predicted, and that a functionally equivalent translation can be demonstrated when responses to the original and target versions are studied.
