ABSTRACT
Cross-cultural comparisons of the relative likelihood of exhibiting a certain judgment style have become the gold standard test for psychologists who are interested in effects of culture on judgment (Lehman, Chiu, and Schaller 2004). For example, an investigator interested in the effect of individualism-collectivism on the likelihood of committing the fundamental attribution error (attribution of the cause of an act to the dispositions of the actor despite the presence of an obvious situational explanation of the act) would measure the relative likelihood of committing the fundamental attribution error in individualist versus collectivist cultures (Miller 1984).
