Individualism impairs ability to the KommunikationAFP
AFP - Thursday, 12 July, 07:46 clock Washington (AFP) - the individualism spread in western societies impaired obviously the ability for the kommunikativen change with the fellow men: This results from a trade-off study between US citizens and Chinese of the University of Chicago. According to the results, which are published in the magazine „Psychological Science “, with a comparison by in each case 20 test persons it was stated that Chinese behaved far more cooperatively than Americans.

ANNOUNCEMENT
The attempt consisted of the fact that on a cross-hatched field objects had to be shifted. The instructions were given by a fellow player, who could see the field only partially. Some the objects covered on the field two Karos, could however by the Anweiser only to the half be seen. During this experimental assembly it was favourable, if those, which received the instructions, realized that which the Anweiser could see and which not. The Chinese test persons concentrated thereby far faster on the objects, which were noticed by the Anweisern. At the end the US citizens needed twice as for a long time, in order to bring the necessary movements for conditions.

„Mutual dependence kept in the Chinese culture obviously better “, explains the researchers Boaz Keysar and Shali Wu. „The Chinese have a natural ability to imagine themselves in the others and foresee its actions. “In western societies it falls humans rather heavily to understand the point of view of the other one.

PERSPECTIVE ASSUMPTION

Chinese more einfühlsamer than Americans
Chinese test subjects showed themselves in an experiment as more einfühlsamer than Americans. They mastered a task of team clearly better - because they put themselves into the position of the Gegenübers. Researchers attribute this to cultural differences.

The fundamental social differences between west and the Far East are more than plates. Intercultural psychology is called the field of activity, in which the thing in common and differences of the peoples of this earth are examined - and one of the fundamental distinctions divides mankind into individualists and collectivists.

Chineses: Perspective assumption constitutes good Teamplayer
That has to do few with political convictions and much with social tradition: In Asian countries such as China or Japan a higher meaning is generally measured out to the group than in the individualistisch aligned western cultures. Above all the family plays a more important role, in addition, for example the colleagues on the job for Asians.

Boaz Keysar of the University OF Chicago accomplished a study now with a colleague and published in the trade paper „Psychological Science “, which is to prove concrete effects of this difference: „Many actions are ambiguous “, explain the psychologist. „Over to understand, what means someone real, we must imagine ourselves in him or them, in order to understand, what thinks the person. “And exactly with it, then interpret Keysar its results, are Americans not as well as Chinese: „You probably make more error with the attempt to understand what means somebody else. “

In the experiment 20 Americans and 20 each Mandarin had to play speaking Chinese together a play. Two test subjects each of the same nationality played together. „A leader “had the task to give to a second person of courses on a Spielbrett. The instruction had to move the instructions of the leader following objects on this chessboard-like field.

Group culture, education, personality - that liegt's?

Some of the objects could see the leader, others was covered by sticking walls. Best the task was to be mastered, if the instruction introduced itself, which objects its opposite see could and which non could do which the Chinese obviously clearly better than the American test persons. The latters needed also about twice as long for the task.

„Defiance of the obvious simplicity of the task failed the majority of the American test persons at least once during the experiment to take over the perspective of the leader “, explains Keysar. 65 per cent of the Americans with this findings the only Chinese test persons face one. Chinese, so the consequence of key acre team, put themselves rather and more easily into the position of other humans.

„Obvious has interdependence, which on the members of this culture a permanent effect “, the psychologists write mutual dependence, by which the Chinese culture is filled. The study strengthens thus hypotheses, which intercultural psychologists preserve for a long time - although with relatively simple means. Because whether the group culture of China is actual the causal factor, it can be derived from an attempt plan with so small rehearsing and number hardly reliably. Likewise for example also the education or the personality of the individual test subjects could play an important role.
