TY - CHAP AB - In this commentary, we reiterate and build upon Early and Masokowski's call for cultural researchers to investigate underlying cognitive structures through which culture influences behavior, looking beyond the models of value-orientation that have dominated previous research. We assess evidence that tapping specific, knowledge structures — as opposed to focusing on value dimensions — has more successfully provided proof of mediating and moderating cultural effects on behavior. Finally, we explore conceptual challenges to this approach of seeking proximal knowledge structures — namely, tapping knowledge that is culturally implicit as well as explicit, further exploring conceptions of agentic groups, and examining other types of agency.
