“…Research in samples from the United States, Australia, and Japan suggests a strong tendency to evaluate the self more favorably than others (Haslam et al, 2005;Sedikides et al, 2003;Valdesolo & DeSteno, 2008); here, we highlight that cultural dynamics, especially how people understand themselves in relation to social others, might influence the magnitude of self-interest bias and mitigate self-favorable judgments in normative behavioral domains. The findings may help illuminate factors that influence the magnitudes of self-other discrepancies (e.g., Haslam et al, 2005;Sedikides et al, 2003) and attitude-behavior gaps (e.g., Dong et al, 2020;Elster & Gelfand, 2020) in self-interest-related judgments.…”
