文化涵化过程中的内疚、耻辱和心理亲近调查

We designed a scenario study to test our hypotheses. We recruited two groups of Chinese participants who were living in either China or Canada. Participants read a story about a manager who was facing a decision to compensate victims who were strangers for his or her wrongdoing. Participants were then instructed to indicate how much they would like to compensate, and their feeling of psychological proximity, shame and guilt toward the victims. Following that they answered demographic questions.
