Do Westerners naturally look at the world /
according to categories? //
If so, /
they may look for similar qualities. //
Objects A and B are connected /
because they have qualities /
that belong to a category. //
In contrast, /
do East Asians focus less on categories? //
If so, /
they may look for relationships. //
The relationship between objects A and B /
may be important for them. //
In order to check this, /
we looked at three groups of college students: /
Korean, /
European-American, /
and Asian-American students. //
We showed them pictures /
like those below. //
Then we asked them to say /
which group of objects is more similar /
to the target object in the center. //
