Interesting study - pretty narrow focus on the whole.

Interesting article worth reading. It may point to further research; however, the article itself is brief and simplified to the point that it provides little more than cocktail party fodder.

The study is too limited to draw firm conclusions from. Are the North American test-takers less holistic in their views or more test-oriented or more literal in their interpretations, or a combination of these? (If I were a subject I'd understand the question to mean I should exclude the background expressions from consideration.)

Brief but very interesting. Would support many other observations of opposing individualism and collectivism in these cultures.
