本研究测试了亚洲人和白色美国人在抑郁和社交焦虑方面的差异的情感特异性解释。把自我看作是独立的或相互依赖的（H。R. Markus & S. Kitayama，1991）被假设为一种可能的方式，其中文化可能会在个人的心理功能中表达，这反过来又被假设为与社会焦虑具体相关。大学生（N = 348; 183名白色美国人和165名亚裔美国人）完成了抑郁，社交焦虑和自我报告的措施。亚裔美国人在抑郁和社交焦虑方面的得分明显高于白色美国人。当抑郁症和社交焦虑之间的协方差进行统计控制，种族和自我认知变量被发现，如预测的那样，与社交焦虑的措施，但不是抑郁症。这些研究结果表明，文化，种族和情绪困扰之间的关系更有区别的观点。
This study tested an affect-specific explanation for the Asian and White American differences in depression and social anxiety. Construal of the self as independent or interdependent in relation to others (H. R. Markus & S. Kitayama, 1991) was hypothesized to be 1 possible way in which culture may be expressed in individuals' psychological functioning, which in turn was hypothesized to be linked specifically to social anxiety. College students (N = 348; 183 White Americans and 165 Asian Americans) completed self-report measures of depression, social anxiety, and self-construals. Asian Americans scored significantly higher than White Americans on measures of depression and social anxiety. When the covariance between depression and social anxiety was statistically controlled, ethnicity and self-construal variables were found, as predicted, to be associated with measures of social anxiety but not depression. These findings suggest a more differentiated perspective on the relations between culture, ethnicity, and emotional distress.
