TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Effects of self-construal and its relationship with subjective well-being across cultures JO - Journal of health psychology A1 - Yamaguchi, Ayano A1 - Kim, Min-Sun SP - 13 EP - 26 VL - 20 IS - 1 N2 - The purpose of this study is to test cross-cultural predictions of the associations between goal pursuits and subjective well-being among 601 college students (200 in Japan and 401 in the United States). The results indicated that interdependence in all cultures was associated with socially oriented subjective well-being. In the United States, it was also correlated with social goal pursuit. However, independence in the United States correlated with individual-oriented subjective well-being, while in Hawaii, it also correlated with hedonic goal pursuit. Discussion of these results and their implications are provided.
