Chapter5 "THE BAD SEED" OR "THE OTHER BOYS MADE HIM DO IT"?

In this chapter, Nisbett showed some examples to indicate that the different worldviews of Easterners and Westerners are associated with different kinds of causal explanation for the same event. It was very interesting to know that American newspapers and Chinese newspapers actually emphasized on different kind of causes to the same event.

Nisbett's explanation of the attribution error was quite difficult for me to understand.

I understood that Westerners emphasize on objects while Easterners see the context by reading the part that he showed many experiments and examples.

It was also interesting to know that Asian Americans showed the middle way of Americans and Chinese/Koreans in many experiments.
