对菲律宾人和美国人的身体疾病归因进行了比较，以考察身体疾病图式因果成分的文化差异。美国(n=50)和菲律宾(n=100)女性对身体、心理和精神-社会疾病的解释进行了评分，正如预测的那样，菲律宾女性将疾病的原因归因于精神-社会解释的频率高于美国人。研究还考察了教育对疾病归因的影响，结果表明，受教育程度较低的菲律宾女性往往比受教育程度较高的群体更多地将疾病归因于精神和社会原因。讨论了文化差异对疾病图式的影响，以及教育对图式形成的影响。
Physical illness attributions of Filipinos and Americans were compared to examine cultural variations in the causal component of the physical illness schemas. American (n = 50) and Filipino (n = 100) women rated physical, psychological, and spiritual-social illness explanations, and as predicted, the Filipino women attributed the cause of illnesses to spiritual-social explanations more frequently than the Americans. The influence of education on illness attributions was also examined, and the findings indicated that less educated Filipino women tended to attribute illnesses to spiritual-social causes more often than the more educated group. Implications of cultural differences in illness schemas are discussed as well as the impact of education on schema formation.
