Wiki Version:
----- Correction --- We learned only after publication that during the revision process we accidentally submitted a second copy of the global/local figure rather than the relative/absolute task figure. And, we didn't catch the error before the paper was published. The correct figure 4 is available at [https://osf.io/q9udw/][1] ----- Overview --- The goal of this experiment is to replicate three different tasks that have been shown to yield cultural differences in performance between people from Eastern or Western societies. These tasks include: 1. A change detection task designed to measure the allocation of attention (Boduroglu et. al, 2010) 2. A Navon figure task that measures global-local processing (McKone et. al, 2010). 3. A line adjustment task that measures bias toward absolute or relative processing (Kitayama et. al, 2003). Following these tasks, participants will complete a series of demographic questions and a measure of collectivism/individualism that we will use to verify cultural differences across individuals in the study and to explore predictors of such differences. The participants in the study will be undergraduates in introductory psychology at the University of Illinois. Given the large international student population at the University of Illinois, we can recruit East Asian participants directly from the introductory psychology subject pool during their first semester in the United States. This approach allows us to recruit participants without their knowledge that the study focuses on cultural differences (i.e., participants will be blind to the hypothesis of cultural differences in these tasks until after they receive the demographic questions about cultural background). The broad goal of the project is to assess the reliability of these measures of cultural differences in a subject population that is blind to the hypothesis of cultural differences. The project will be conducted by Nicole Hakim and supervised by Daniel Simons. [1]: https://osf.io/q9udw/
