Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research summarized in the textbook suggests that a sense of control is more valued in Western cultures. This is because Western cultures tend to prioritize individualism and autonomy, which are closely linked to control. In contrast, collectivist cultures (choice B) prioritize interdependence and may not place as much value on individual control. East Asian cultures (choice C) place importance on harmony and social hierarchy, which may also reduce the emphasis on individual control. Lastly, industrialized (choice D) does not necessarily have a direct correlation with a sense of control as it is a socioeconomic term rather than a cultural one.
