日本和加拿大的大学生被比较了他们希望在生活中发生的变化。与被描述为谦逊的关系和群体意识相反，日本人并不比加拿大人更有可能希望获得社会或集体产品。相反，日本人比加拿大人更希望得到金钱或物质，而不像加拿大人那样希望更好的家庭关系、更多的自我了解和更好的学习成绩。这些发现是否反映了不同的文化优先事项、不平等的机会和限制，或者两者兼而有之，本文对此进行了讨论。
Japanese and Canadian university students were compared on the changes they wanted in their lives. Contrary to their characterization as self-effacingly relational and group-minded, Japanese were no more likely than Canadians to wish for social or collective goods. Rather, Japanese were more likely than Canadians to wish for money or material goods, and less likely than Canadians to wish for better family relations, increased self-understanding, and improved academic performance. Whether these findings reflect dissimilar cultural priorities, unequal opportunities and constraints, or both, is discussed.
