This research tests the theoretical prediction that the self-concept of bicultural Chinese would become more socially connected when Chinese primed than when Western primed. Measures of social connectedness are derived from the Self-Reference Effect, according to which information will be memorized better when it references the Self than when it references the non-Self. Under Western priming (n=91), memory of information referencing Self is better than that referencing font (a nonperson condition referring to the style in which the information is printed), a Nonidentified Person (NIP), or Mother, which suggests a relatively distinct Self (Hypothesis 1), Under Chinese priming (n=96), the Self-font distinction remains, but the Self-NIP and Self-Mother distinctions disappear as predicted, suggesting a more socially connected Self (Hypothesis 2). The predicted Priming x Referencing interaction effects are (marginally) significant, which confirm that the Self-NIP and Self-Mother connectedness is higher under Chinese priming than under Western priming (Hypothesis 3).
