Sumario:A study was conducted to examine the embodiment of culture in the way people map out their position and motion in time and space. Data were obtained from three experiments involving European Americans and Asian Americans. Findings revealed that in social situations, Euro Americans were more likely to embody their own perspective and a sense of their own motion than those of a friend, whereas Asian Americans were more likely to embody a friend's perspective and sense of motion than their own. Findings indicate that such perspectives lack an explicit attitude or articulated value but instead embody a way of thinking about the world. Findings are discussed in detail.
