作者比较了东亚人和美国人对日常社会事件的看法。研究表明，美国人往往更注重自我，比东亚人有更强的个人能动性。作者评估了与东亚人相比，美国人是否会在事件不涉及自我的情况下强调主要人物，以及他们是否会在行动中看到更多的代理或意图，即使这些行动不是他们自己的。研究人员还调查了东亚人是否比美国人在日常生活中观察到更多的情绪。在第一项研究中，中国人和美国人阅读了另一个人的所谓日记。美国人确实更关注主要人物和人物的意图。研究2重复了这些结果，比较台湾人和美国人对有关自我的事件和叙述的自由回忆，以及有关他人的视频。研究二也发现台湾人对角色的情绪状态有更多的评论。
The authors compared East Asians' and Americans' views of everyday social events. Research suggests that Americans tend to focus more on the self and to have a greater sense of personal agency than East Asians. The authors assessed whether, compared to East Asians, Americans emphasize main characters even when events do not involve the self and whether they see more agency or intentionality in actions, even when the actions are not their own. Whether East Asians would observe more emotions in everyday scenarios than would Americans also was investigated. In Study 1, Chinese and Americans read alleged diary entries of another person. Americans did focus more on main characters and on characters' intentionality. Study 2 replicated these results comparing Taiwanese and Americans on free recall of events concerning the self and of narratives and, videos concerning others. Study 2 also found that Taiwanese made more comments about the emotional states of characters.
