Generalizing East Asian Cultures in Psychological Research: A Call for Diversity
The article discusses how psychological research often lumps all East Asian cultures together, which can lead to inaccurate generalizations. The authors point out that concepts like individualism and collectivism are not well-defined in this context. They also found that results from one East Asian culture are often applied to all East Asian cultures without proper comparison. The authors suggest that including more diverse research teams and scholars from non-English speaking countries can help address this issue.
