Sheldon and colleagues have recently focused research attention on the concept of self - concordance, in which people feel that they pursue their goals because the goals fit with their underlying interests and values rather than because others say they should pursue them. Self - concordant individuals typically evidence higher subjective well - being (SWB). But is this also true in non - western cultures, which emphasize people's duty to conform to societal expectations and group - centered norms ? To address this question, this study assessed goal self - concordance and SWB in four different cultures. U. S. Chinese and south korean samples evidence equal levels of self - concordance, whereas a taiwanese sample evidence somewhat less self - concordance. More importantly, self - concordance predicted SWB within every culture. To appears that "owning one's actions" that is, feeling that one's goals are consistent with the self - may be important for most if not all humans.
