Shinobu Kitayama Markus and Kitayama (1991) suggested that if self is construed differently across cultures, both other individuals and objects might be construed in analogously divergent fashion across cultures. Ishii and Kitayama (unpublished) have found that whereas happiness is best predicted by attainment of social harmony among residents of the main island of Japan, it is predicted equally well by both attainment of social harmony and personal achievement among Hokkaido natives.

Sheena S. Iyengar - Research According to Markus and Kitayama’s (1991) theory, Westerners (hypothesized to possess independent self-construals) perceive themselves as consisting of a unique set of attributes, which enable them to stand apart and to be separate from others in their environment. By contrast, if, as Markus and Kitayama argue, interdependent-selves perceive themselves as striving for harmony and belongingness with others, then it may be hypothesized that such individuals will be particularly motivated by contexts which allow them both to be perceived as and to act as collective agents. Consistent with Markus and Kitayama’s (1991) delineation of the motivating goals for independent-selves, much psychological theory and research supports the hypothesis that Westerners are most motivated in contexts allowing for the perception of choice, control, and self-determination. www.columbia.edu /~ss957/whatdrives.html   (8794 words)

Former Union City Mayor Kitayama Honored at School Dedication   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Despite the complications, Kitayama is pleased with the way the school looks and is proud that it is built on land that was once part of the Kitayama Brothers Nursery. Kitayama said that he "did not know the difference between an ordinance and a resolution" when he began, but he did know how to lead people. Kitayama's trustworthiness and unassuming personality are reasons why people felt comfortable with a man who helped turn a small farming community into a modern, multi-cultural city with industry, commerce and top rated schools. www.nichibeitimes.com /news/unioncmayor.html   (604 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Markus and Kitayama (1991b) have argued that the tendency toward self-enhancement has positive social and psychological consequences within a cultural system that is organized to foster and promote the independence and the uniqueness of the self. Kitayama, Takagi, and Matsumoto (1995) reviewed 23 studies conducted in Japan on this topic and failed to find virtually any evidence for the self-serving pattern of attribution. Kitayama and Karasawa (1995) found that the subjective well-being and physical health of Japanese persons can be reliably predicted by their appraisal of themselves as not having various negative qualities; but there was virtually no effect of their appraisal of themselves as having various positive qualities. www-psych.stanford.edu /~hmarkus/articles/selfenh_selfcrit.htm   (14120 words)

IPS-Women as Leaders-Japan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Kitayama, not her real name, is a public nurse herself and is one of a handful of women who have decided to go public about her HIV status in a society where speaking out on taboo issues -- especially as a woman -- is not easy. But today Kitayama, who lives in Kyoto in western Japan, leads an equally busy life working as a community nurse and spending much of her spare time giving lectures on her positive approach to life with HIV. Kitayama, who says she is looking forward to getting married and starting a family, now carries with her an official document that recognises her as a handicapped person. www.ips.org /womenleaders/wo-3.html   (1125 words)

Sheena S. Iyengar - Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) According to Markus and Kitayama’s (1991) theory, Westerners (hypothesized to possess independent self-construals) perceive themselves as consisting of a unique set of attributes, that enable them to stand apart and to be separate from others in their environments. By contrast, according to Markus and Kitayama (1991), Easterners (hypothesized to possess interdependent self-construals) perceive themselves as being interconnected with and interrelated to others in their social contexts. Thus, drawing upon differences between independent- and interdependent-selves articulated by Markus and Kitayama (1991), we predict that volitional choosers, with independent-selves, will exhibit the same low level of commitment to activities that are chosen by others--either ingroup or outgroup members. www.columbia.edu /~ss957/Nebraska.htm   (13109 words)

Marcus and Kitayama, Culture and the Self Kitayama, Markus, Tummala, Kzrokawa, and Kato (1990) examined this idea in a study requiring similarity judgments between self and other. In a more recent study Kitayama and Markus (1990) further tested whether this theoretical dimension of emotion also underlies and even determines how frequently people may experience various emotions and whether the frequency of emotional experience varies with their dominant construal of self as independent or interdependent. Kitayama and Markus (1990) first sampled three emotions common in Japanese culture that were expected to fall under one of the five types theoretically derived from the current analysis. chnm.gmu.edu /courses/honors130/culture.html   (12018 words)

The Truth About NST Activities on the Internet -- refuting the lies on the SG-eye.com website Kitayama Honmoji was originally the expanded Omosu Seminary founded by Nikko Shonin.

[No title] In past papers (Heine, Lehman et al., 1999; Kitayama & Markus, in press; Kitayama et al., 1997), we have argued that Japanese are more likely to maintain a self-critical attitude as this better enables them to pursue tasks relevant within their cult ural context.

Science News Online - This Week - Feature Article - 10/18/97 One investigation, directed by Kitayama, identifies a penchant for self-enhancement in U.S. college students and an affinity for self-criticism in Japanese college students. For example, based on other recent experiments submitted for publication, Kitayama and Kyoto University colleague Takahiko Masuda argue that Japanese volunteers often do not assume that another person's behavior corresponds to his or her private attitudes.
