Research Abstract

This research introducese a social comparison framework to study the mechanisms univerlying mothers' sharing practices with their adolescent daughters in two national cultures: Japan, a collectivistic national culture, and France, an individualistic culture. Using an interpretive approach, this study shows that social comparison processes and their motives differ across cultures, reflecting differences between individualistic and collectivist societies. The interpersonal comparison process predominates in France, wheres an intergroup are the primary motives for mothers' social comparisons in individualistic cultures, wheres self-enhancement is more valued in collectivist countries.
