(2012, unknown): “…to which personal relationships and group memberships are formed through personal choice or environmental affordance (e.g., Adams, 2005; Chen, Chiu, & Chan, 2009; Falk et al., 2009; Oishi, Lun, & Sherman, 2007; Schug et al., 2009; Yamagishi & Yamagishi, 1994; Yamagishi, 1998; Yuki et al., 2007).”
• A Socio-Ecological Approach to Cross-Cultural Differences in the Sensitivity to Social Rejection (2014, result): “As expected and consistent with previous studies (e.g., Falk et al., 2009; Schug et al., 2010a), perceived levels of relational mobility were lower among Japanese (M = 3.83, SD = .59) than among Americans (M = 4.55, SD = .68), t(187) = −7.71, p < .0001, d = 1.16.”
• A cross-cultural investigation of trait emotional intelligence in Hong Kong and the UK (2014, unknown): “…Heine & Hamamura, 2007; Heine et al., 2001; Kitayama, Markus, Matsumoto, & Norasakkunkit, 1997), are more likely to engage in compensatory self-enhancement (Heine et al., 2001), and exhibit fewer and weaker self-serving biases (Falk et al., 2009; Heine & Hamamura, 2007; Kitayama et al., 1997).”
