INFORMATION AVAILABILITY AND COMPLEX PERCEPTIONS OF AMERICANS AND CHINESE.

Abstract

The effect of information relevance and information availability on perceptual differences between Chinese and American nationals was investigated. Subjects participated in pairs as decision makers in a complex experimental environment. Participants' perceptions of success, failure, and competence levels for their own team (under conditions where judgments could be based on varying levels of relevant information) and for a supposed opposing team (under conditions where perceptions had to be inferred in the absence of information) were obtained. Potential applications of the findings for military decision making and for a policy of military deterrence are considered. (Author)
