Culture as situated cognition: Cultural mindsets, cultural fluency, and meaning making (2011, background): “For example, Japanese and American participants make different patterns of errors in reproducing lines embedded in frames, with Americans more accurate in recalling the absolute size of the line and Japanese more accurate in recalling the relative size of the line (Kitayama et al., 2003).”
Same-race faces are perceived more holistically than other-race faces (2004, background): “Whereas Westerners’ per formances were better in the absolute task, Easterners were more accurate at reproducing the line in the relative task (Kitayama et al., 2003).”
Behaviour variability and the Situated Focus Theory of Power (2007, background): “Comparable differences have been found across cultures that differ in the level of exertion and control over the environment that individuals exercise (e.g., East Asians vs Westerners; see Kitayama et al., 2003).”
Striving for balance in economics : towards a theory of the social determination of behavior (2016, background): “Experiences that the subjects have ad in their lives affect the accuracy with which their brains respond even to very simple tasks, for example, estimating the bsolute compared to the relative lengths of lines in the framed-line test (Kityama et al., 2003).”
The meaningful life in Japan and the United States: Levels and correlates of meaning in life (2008, background): “The influence of these different cognitive styles appears pervasive, and has been found not only to affect visual information processing (e.g., Kitayama et al., 2003), but also fundamental assumptions about the nature of life itself.”
