Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to explore mediational mechanisms underlying the cross-cultural variations in the co-occurrence of spontaneous trait and situation inferences. Specifically, we investigated whether an analytic-holistic attention style mediates the relationship between culture and spontaneous inferences.
The results of two experiments suggest that European Americans showed more spontaneous trait inferences than situation inferences, while Asian Americans and Japanese showed these inferences equally. Further, the investigation of the association between attention and spontaneous inferences revealed that cultural difference in attention allocation while observing behavioral scenes mediates between culture and the co-occurrence of spontaneous trait and situation inferences.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

例えばお年寄りが階段を上るのを手伝っている人を見た時,その人は「親切な人だ」と思う。人にはこのように,他者の行動から意図せず自発的にその人の特性を推論する傾向がある。この過程は自動的に起こるため,制御するのが難しい。特定の人種や性別に対するステレオタイプも,このような自発的特性推論が関わると考えられ,本研究はそのプロセスの解明に寄与しうる。また,自発的特性推論に文化差があること,その文化差は他者を観察した時点でどこに注目するかということにより生み出されることを示した。このような成果は,現代のグローバル化社会において,多様な文化的背景を持つ他者を理解することの一助となると考えられる。
