Chinese and American respondents were equally likely to rely on response scales as a frame of reference in estimating the frequencies of unobservable behaviours, for which people have little episodic knowledge. Moreover, both drew on information extracted from the scales in making comparative judgments involving the self. Chinese respondents, however, were less influenced by the response alternatives than were Americans for observable behaviours, both in their behavioural reports and comparative judgments. The authors suggest that this occurred because members of collectivist societies attend closely to their own and others’ behaviors to ensure smooth social functioning, resulting in memories for behaviours that Americans can only estimate.
