Individualistic and collectivist cultures have been found to differ in explaining failure. Which of the following is true?
a. In individualistic cultures such as in the United States, people have a tendency toward self-serving bias. They tend to explain failure by looking outside of themselves, attributing it to the situation.
b. In collectivistic cultures such as the Chinese, people attribute failure to external causes as they want to defend themselves.
c. In most collectivistic cultures, it is common to attribute failure to internal as well as external causes.
d. In some Asian cultures, such as Korea and Japan, it is common to attribute failure to the situation and other external causes. Self-critical attributions are considered to weaken the interdependence of the group members.
