For a long time, *research psychologists have had an idea that East Asians and Westerners think
about the world in different ways. There was not enough scientific *evidence to support this idea until
recently. In the past 15 years, however, researchers have learned a lot about different thinking styles
and the cultural differences that produce them.
The story begins in 1972, when *Liang-Hwang Chiu, a professor of *educational psychology at
*Indiana University, tested more than 200 Chinese and 300 American children. He showed some cards
to each child. Each card had pictures of three things. One card, for example, showed a cow, a chicken,
and grass. Chiu asked the children to say which two things were in the same group. Most of the
American children picked the chicken and cow. They explained the reason by saying that "both are
animals." Most of the Chinese children, however, put the cow and grass together because "cows eat
grass."

conditioner go together because they're both hair care goods. The Chinese were more likely to say
that shampoo and hair go together because "shampoo washes and cleans hair."
