Decision making is an activity found in all cultures. Although many theoretical models have been developed to explain human decision making, very few have taken the role of culture into account. In this paper the importance of cultural influences on self-reported decision-making styles is examined, with particular emphasis on the dominant cultural pattern (i.e. “group orientation” versus “individual orientation”). Results of a questionnaire study of 743 Japanese and 309 Australian university students are presented. As predicted, Japan-students reported greater use of decision processes or behaviours associated with the involvement and influence of others (“collateral role”), while Australian students reported greater use of decision processes associated with self-reliance and personal ability (“individual role”). La prise de decision est une activite que l'on trouve dans toutes les cultures. Alors que de nombreux modeles theoriques ont ete developpes pour expliquer la prise de decision, tres peu ont pris en compte le role de la culture. Dans cet article, nous examinons l'importance de l'influence culturelle sur le fait de prendre une decision en mettant particuliercment l'accent sur le modele culturel dominant (c'est-a-dire “l'orientation de group” par comparaison avec “l'orientation individuelle”). Nous prentons les resultats d'une etude portant sur 743 etudiants japonais et 309 etudiants austmliens. Come il etait facile a prevoir, les etudiants japonais dans leur prise de decision, ou dans leur attitude, font davantage appel a l'implication et a l'influence des autres, alors que les etudiants australiens rapportent utiliser davantage le processus en l'associant a leur aptitude personnelle ou a leur confiance en soi. |
