| Research Abstract |
We examined cultural differences of the interpersonal information processing when a perceiver and a target person are in symmetric outcome dependency situation. We conducted three experiments in Japan and USA. The results of the 1^<st> experiment showed that the positivity bias exists commonly in both countries in an asymmetric outcome dependency situation as expected. Then, we examined that the positivity bias also occurs in the symmetric outcome dependency situation in the second experiment. The results showed that different motives related to positivity bias, namely relation oriented motive occurred positivity bias in Japan ,and self-enhancement motive related to it in USA.Then, in the 3^<rd> .experiment, we attempt to investigate when in the symmetric evaluative outcome-dependency situation, after being clear of partner's evaluation for oneself what kind of differences exist between Japan and US in terms of information gathering behavior regarding the partner and reaction to the partner, and explain the reasons for the differences. The results indicate that in general both Japanese and Americans focus on how the partner think of them. However, examining the content the search indicates that US participants appear to hold a strong interest in the partner's impression of them whereas Japanese participants take more interest in whether they are accepted or rejected by the partner. Based on this finding, we assume that the tendency that is observed in the cultural self Le., Americans stress self-understanding and Japanese stress relationship with others, also exists in the interpersonal information process level as a meta-expectation for interpersonal relationship.
