The study found that participants from East Asian cultures who were not in front of a mirror reported higher actual/ideal self discrepancies than those who were placed in front of a mirror. This suggests that the presence of a mirror may have a self-enhancing effect for East Asians, who tend to prioritize harmony and self-improvement over self-expression and individualism. Conversely, the study did not find significant differences between Westerners, women, or men in terms of the mirror effect on self-discrepancy.
