Research examining the representativeness heuristic has demonstrated that there may be cultural differences when people are asked to consider causal factors. What are these differences and how might they impact international negotiations on global issues

What will be an ideal response?

Answer:
Findings suggest that Asian (Chinese) individuals may take more factors into account when considering causal events. For example, when asked about the source of global warming Asian individuals may include a wide array of reasons that this is occurring. However, westerners (Canadians) may have a more limited scope of factors that they consider to be causally linked to global warming. This can create conflict when there is a need to create a policy to address an issue such as global warming. Asian individuals may prefer a policy that addresses many causal factors, while a westerner may prefer to focus only on a few "big" causes to address the problem.
