How you see yourself in the world…

Here’s an interesting study — ‘Asian Americans and European Americans differ in how they see themselves in the world‘. The findings reinforce what is generally considered true for those in this (Asian) part of the world.

Asian Americans who, they said, place value on “thinking how your actions will look to other people” tend to visualise social situations from a third person “camera angle”. European Americans, by contrast, who endorse values like “knowing what you want” tend to visualise situations from their own perspective.
