Cultural Psychology on Collectives - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 170 Collectives/cultural psychology: Lying and truth telling have also been examined with reference to their implications for individuals versus one’s collective. Fu, Xu, Cameron, Heyman, and Lee (2007)(1) found that seven- to nine-year-old Chinese children were more likely to disapprove of lies if they were told to benefit a specific individual (e.g., a friend) rather than to a group, whereas Canadian children of the same ages showed the reverse pattern. However, this does not imply that Chinese children always favor lies told to benefit a collective. Sweet, Heyman, Fu, and Lee (2010)(2) found Chinese children judged lies to conceal their group’s cheating against another group harshly, and were even more negative in these judgments than American children. >Honesty/cultural psychology, >Honesty/Kohlberg, >Kohlberg/cultural psychology. 1.
