Differences are found to be related to interdependency or independency, that is, the cultural climate in which we grow determines the manner in which we regard experiences

I didn't dwell on the lack of rhetoric skills on the part of East Asians in my book, but it is certainly a big and importance difference. We do have some data on Asian Americans brought up on English. They look more like European Americans for most of our tests than like Asians.... You might be interested to know that we are finding Eastern Europeans to be more holistic than W. Euros., southern Italians to be more holistic than northern Italians and mainland Japanese to be more holistic than residents of the individualistic island of Hokkaido. So it's not really just an East-West thing. The mediator of the cognitive differences appears to be interdependence vs. independence.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/97C92B6A-4424-45DC-B128-E777CF5DCDEE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
