Cultural Dispositions, Control of Anger, and Empathy
Abstract
In this article, two studies were performed to investigate the differences of the tendency to control anger in terms of the participants’ differences in cultural dispositions. The Korean high-school students were devided into two groups (idiocentrics who have individualistic cultural dispositions and allocentrics who have collectivistic cultural dispositions) and instructed to evaluate their levels of experiencing anger (state-anger and trait-anger) and expressing behaviors of them (anger-out, anger-in, and anger-control) (Study 1), and their levels of anger-control and empathy (Study 2). In study 1, it was found that idiocentrics experience higher levels of state-and trait-anger, they express them more in everyday life situations than allocentrics, but allocentrics control their anger more than idiocentrics, and these differences of anger expressing behaviors were mediated by the level of trait-anger. In study 2, it was found that the level of empathy of allocentrics were higher than that of idiocentrics, and this difference mediates their anger-control behavior. On the basis of these results, it was discussed that allocentrics and people in the collectivistic societies are socialized to conrol their anger to maintain harmonious relationship with others and to develop their ability to empathize with peers from early in their life.
