概要	It has long been believed that the Japanese are collectivists, whereas Westerners are individualists. Although this common　view was found to be inconsistent with empirical evidence in many questionnaire and behavioral studies, it still derives　credibility from Japanese researchers’ intuitive interpretations of daily observations about Japanese culture. This suggests that the　proportion of asking was smaller for the Japanese respondents because they had the default drink for guests (i.e., Japanese　tea), which had been established in Japanese history. In the first questionnaire study, the Japanese respondents did not　endorse the intuitive interpretations of two Japanese words (i.e., hello and self) that Japanese researchers proposed as evidence of the common view. These results call attention to probable theoretical bias in researchers’ intuitive interpretations of daily observations about their own culture.
