blegging Richard Nisbett
Jun. 2nd, 2005 11:21 pmdoes anybody know the name of the researcher who studies "cultural cognition", and who has written about that experiment, where you ask someone to describe a picture? Chinese people will describe the background first, whereas westerners will talk about the prominent fish in the picture.
There was also something about US Southerners being quick to anger (than US Northerners) because their Scottish ancestors were shepherds.
EDIT:
Richard Nisbett is the guy.
He wrote "Culture of Honor: the Psychology of Violence in the South."
