This study investigated whether self - concepts that arise from participation in interdependent cultural contexts, in this case the self - concepts of Japanese students, will be relatively more sensitive to situational variation than will self - concepts that arise in independent cultural contexts, in this case the self - concepts of U. S. college students. The self - concepts of 128 Japanese and 133 U. S. women were assessed in one of four distinct social situations : in a group, with a faculty member, with a peer, and alone in a research booth. Furthermore, the authors examined the hypothesis that Japanese self - concepts would differ from American self - concepts in valence, reflecting normative and desirable tendencies toward self - criticism. American and Japanese participants differed in the content, number, and range of self - descriptions. As predicted, the situation had a greater influence on the self - descriptions of the Japanese participants than on the Americans’ self - descriptions, and the self - descriptions of the Japanese were more negative.
