The geography of thought how Asians and Westerners think differently ... and why
Nisbett, Richard E.
The geography of thought how Asians and Westerners think differently ... and why Richard E. Nisbett - 1. Free Press trade paperback ed., [Nachdr.] - XXIII, 263 S. : Ill., graph. Darst.
Includes bibliographical references and index
When Richard Nisbett showed an animated underwater scene to his American students, they zeroed in on a big fish swimming among smaller fish. Japanese subjects, on the other hand, made observations about the background environment ... and the different "seeings" are a clue to profound underlying cognitive differences between Westerners and East Asians. As Professor Nisbett shows in The Geography of Thought people actually think - and even see - the world differently, because of differing ecologies, social structures, philosophies, and educational systems that date back to ancient Greece and China.
