Differed Self within Collectivist Culture: Introducing an Alternative Self-Construal Theory

Self Creation Cosmology An Alternative Gravitational Theory

A question is raised about the premature acceptance of the standard cosmological model, the ’ΛCDM’ paradigm; the non-metric, or semimetric, theory of Self Creation Cosmology is offered as an alternative and shown to be as equally concordant as the standard model with observed cosmological constraints and local observations. In self-creation the Brans Dicke theory is modified to enable the creat...

Primed Self-Construal, Culture, and Stages of Impression Formation

The effects of culture on impression formation are widely documented but poorly understood. Priming independent and interdependent self-construals, and focusing on particular stages of impression formation, could help remedy this because such self-construals differ across cultures. In three experiments, participants’ were primed with independent or interdependent self-construals before they for...

Further Considerations on Culture, Self-construal, and Leisure Theory and Practice

Culture and Self-regulation: the Influence of Self- Construal on Impulsive Consumption

Construal levels and self-control.

The authors propose that self-control involves making decisions and behaving in a manner consistent with high-level versus low-level construals of a situation. Activation of high-level construals (which capture global, superordinate, primary features of an event) should lead to greater self-control than activation of low-level construals (which capture local, subordinate, secondary features). I...
