Previous research has shown that collectivists prefer extenal whereas individualists prefer internal attribtuions. To test the findings' generality across social situations, we compared the two attributions in situations where either an individual was acting on agroup (individual - acting) or the reverse (group - acting). As predicted, collectivists (beijing and hong kong chinese) greater reference for externality, and individualists (wellington europeans) greater preference for internality, occured in individual - but not group - acting situations. Collectivists' (mainly hong kong) memory of events was better in group - than individual acting situations according to prediction, but the predicted reversal was not found among individualists. The collectivist / indiviualist categorizations of the samples were supported by measures of self - construal. Indigenous chinese concepts of "unity" (tong tian ren) and "combination" (he nei wai) were discussed to throw light on attribution processes that are not readily accesible through the concepts of collectivism and individualism.
