“…The result reflects the finding mentioned earlier that, among five nationalities compared, Japanese students were the most internal in causal ascriptions for failure and the least internal for success (Chandler et al, 1981). This is probably because the phrasing of statement 4 in the questionnaire (Table 1) includes a connotation of self-blame or self-criticism, for which the Japanese have been found to have a tendency (Minami, 1987).…”

This study investigated the effects of culture on beliefs about stress and successful coping. Anglo-American and Japanese samples responded to a questionnaire, and engaged in subsequent interviews as a means of measuring how they would attribute the cause of stress and successful coping. The Japanese subjects were found more likely than Anglo-Americans to attribute successful coping to good luck and to see stress as caused by bad luck. The Japanese persons also showed a stronger tendency to see their lack of carefulness as a cause of stress than American subjects. The implications of the findings of this research study for psychotherapists who treat non-Western clients is also discussed.

“…Because research has pointed to cross-cultural differences in self-serving bias (e.g. Chandler et al, 1981;Markus and Kitayama, 1991), mothers completed this social desirability scale to check for reporting bias on the VABS. The SDS has significant test-retest reliability ðr ¼ 0:89Þ and internal consistency (a ¼ 0:88; Crowne and Marlowe, 1960).…”

We compared how 182 Italian and US American urban and rural firstborn 20-month-old girls and boys cope with the demands of their environment through their adaptive behaviours in everyday activities. Using the Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales, we collected maternal reports of children's communication, daily living, socialization, and motor skills. Three sets of main effects (and no interactions) emerged. With respect to country, Italian children scored higher than US American children in adaptive communication and motor skills. With respect to region, urban children showed higher adaptive motor skills than rural children, and rural children showed higher adaptive daily living skills than urban children. Finally, with respect to gender, girls scored higher on an adaptive behaviour composite as well as adaptive communication skills, but boys higher in adaptive motor skills. We set these country, region, and gender main effects in the context of a discussion of developing adaptive behaviours in young children.

“…He found Americans scored significantly higher than Nigerian students did on internality. Chandler, Shama, Wolf, and Planchard (1981) studied the attribution patterns of 684 university students from Japan, India, South Africa, the United States, and Yugoslavia. They found that Japanese students were more internal in causal ascriptions for failures and less internal in attributions for success than the other cultural groups were.…”

“…Their results provided only partial support for their initial hypothesis that Americans would use self-serving attributions more frequently than would Japanese students. Earlier studies by Fry and Ghosh (1980) and Chandler et al (1981) had found that Americans were more likely than Indians and Japanese to use self-serving attributions. Fry and Ghosh (1980) compared the attributions of matched samples of 50 Asian Indian and 50 white Anglo-Saxon children and noted a tendency for Anglo children to accept responsibility for success and to deny responsibility for failure.…”

One hundred and fifty-five elementary teachers in San Jose, Costa Rica rated their expectancy of success, willingness to help, liking for, and evaluation of two students who were failing; one because of low ability, one because of insufficient effort. Significantly higher mean ratings on all four consequences were observed for the protocol describing the student who didn't try than for the protocol describing the student with low ability.
