Description

People who have independent construal of self that was common feature in the westerner tend to enhance personal attribute. Therefore, they are especially motivated to evaluate or confirm their ability in achievement situations. On the other hand, people who have interdependent construal of self that was prominent in the East Asia have a propensity to concern their social rule or values, so they do not try to enhance their performance in the achievement situation. The results showed that social loafing occurred in the groups of participants who have the independent construal of self but not occurred in the groups of participants who have the interdependent construal of self. The perspective of social loafing study and the applicability to the real world were discussed.
