Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project is to construct a theory based on the distinction between Westerners' low-context culture and Easterners' high-context culture (E. Hall) to explain cultural differences between Westerners and Easterners. The term conext means implicit assumtion shared by people in communication. It was argued that this theory is superior to the theory based on the distinction between Westerners' individualism and Easterners' collectivism o explain cultural differences in cognition. This theory was tested in the field of dialectical thinking and so on. It was also demonstrated that the concept of context is important to understand people's rule-based inference, morl judgment, and mind reading.
