Self-concept consistency and short-term stability in eight cultures (2012, background): “…time, cultural psychologists have proposed that self-concept consistency is less important in collectivist or East Asian cultures, where the ability to adapt to situational or role requirements is highly valued (Choi & Choi, 2002; Heine, 2001; Spencer-Rodgers, Williams, & Peng, 2010; Suh, 2002).”
Prospects for an integrated trait and cultural psychology (2009, methodology): “23: 153–182 (2009) DOI: 10.1002/per identity consistency in East Asian cultures to Asian dialectical thinking, which has proposed roots in Eastern philosophical, religious, and epistemological traditions, especially Confucianism (Choi & Choi, 2002; English & Chen, 2007; Peng & Nisbett, 1999).”
Perseverance Counts but Consistency Does Not! Validating the Short Grit Scale in a Collectivist Setting (2016, background): “Some studies have also shown that collectivists espouse greater contradictory beliefs and attitudes about themselves as opposed to the Westerners who are inclined to show consistent self-belief and perceptions (Choi and Choi 2002; Wong et al. 2003).”
Problem Finding and Contradiction: Examining the Relationship Between Naive Dialectical Thinking, Ethnicity, and Creativity (2009, background): “The implication is that East Asians are often more tolerant of the coexistence of opposing traits, emotions, and attitudes within themselves (Choi & Choi, 2002 ; Schimmack, Oishi, & Diener, 2002 ; Spencer-Rodgers, Peng, Wang, & Hou, 2004 ).”
Psychological universals: what are they and how can we know? (2005, background): “Without proper experimental controls, such comparisons suffer from moderacy response biases (e.g., Chen, Lee, & Stevenson, 1995), acquiescent response styles (e.g., Choi & Choi, 2002), deprivation effects (Peng et al., 1997), and reference-group effects (Heine, Lehman, Peng, & Greenholtz, 2002).”
Cultural differences in response styles: The role of dialectical thinking (2008, methodology): “…been used to index ambivalence: (1) the correlation between true-keyed and false-keyed items (Bagozzi et al., 1999; Wong et al., 2003), (2) absolute differences between true-keyed and false-keyed items (Choi & Choi, 2002), and (3) special ambivalence formulas (Spencer-Rodgers et al., 2004).”
Understanding the Individualism-Collectivism Cleavage and Its Effects: Lessons from Cultural Psychology (2012, unknown): “As a consequence of these differences, East Asians are more ready to endorse contradictory views of their personality (for example introverted and extraverted at the same time) (Choi and Choi, 2002) as well as more contradictory beliefs about reality (naïve dialecticism, see Peng and Nisbett, 1999).”
