Culture and Motivation
Captions available
The idea
Motivation reflects culture: in collectivistic cultures, acting for the sake of one's family or group is a common and valued motive.
In practice
A student works hard in school to honor her family's sacrifice.
Where people slip
Working for the group is not a lesser motive, and teachers avoid judging students' motives by one culture's standard.
