Abstract

Various cultures breed different attitudes and interpretations of competition. Previous research tends to associate characteristics such as competitive and self-centered with individualists, while linking collectivists with cooperation and unity. Yet, recent studies indicate that individuals from collectivistic societies compete more intensely and covertly than individualists. Regarding the controversial findings, this paper proposes a potential laboratory experiment with an academic scenario to investigate the cultural variations in perceiving competition when there’s no explicit signaling of competitive relationship. The prediction proposes that 1) collectivists might retain a stronger baseline sense of competition across group contexts, 2) collectivists’ perceived extent of competition would be highest when they rate ingroup interactions, and 3) the probability of future cooperative behaviors might be negatively associated with perceived competition level.
