      Very interesting question – we are really rubbish in psychology at looking at differences around the world, with different cultures, and this is something we need to do more of. In general, there is some research which suggests different cultures may experience things slightly differently, for example visual illusions don’t work with all cultures. But there’s not enough research on this yet to give a definite answer…. maybe it’s something you could research when you become a scientist???
