Responsibilism and culture
Curated by Kripa
Perspective
I'm cautious about equating responsibilism with collectivism; it could oversimplify cultural nuances. My concern is whether the scale captures depth or just surface-level duties.
Source summary
Previous research has widely associated East Asian cultures with higher levels of collectivism, which is often measured through self-report scales that emphasize warmth and prosociality towards all people. Talhelm et al. developed a responsibilism scale that captures duties and responsibilities in close relationships.
