Cultural differences in cognition are important during multinational commercial, military, and humanitarian operations. The Rosetta Project addresses definition and measurement of key cognitive dimensions. Six potential diagnostic measures related to Analytic-Holistic reasoning were assessed: the Exclusion Task, the Attribution Complexity Scale, the Syllogism Task, Categorization, the Framed Line Test, and the Facial Expression Task. 379 participants' ages ranged from 17 to 24 years (M = 19.8, SD = 1.4). 64.6% were women; Eastern Asian groups (Japan, Korea, and Taiwan) were assumed to have Holistic reasoning tendencies, and those from a Western group (USA) were assumed to have Analytic tendencies. Participants were recruited from subject pools in psychology using the procedures of each university. Results on the Exclusion and Categorization Tasks confirmed hypothesized differences in Analytic-Holistic reasoning. The Attribution Complex-ity Scale and the Facial Expression Task identified important differences among the four groups. Outcomes on the final two tasks were confounded by unrelated group differences, making comparisons difficult. Building on this exploratory study, Rosetta Phase II will include additional groups and cognitive tasks. Measures of complex cognition are also incorporated to link findings to the naturalistic contexts.
在跨国商业、军事和人道主义行动中，认知方面的文化差异至关重要。罗塞塔项目致力于关键认知维度的定义和测量。评估了与分析-整体推理相关的六种潜在诊断方法：排除任务、归因复杂性量表、三段论任务、分类、框架线测试和面部表情任务。379名参与者的年龄在17岁至24岁之间（M = 19.8，SD = 1.4）。64.6%为女性；东亚群体（日本、韩国和台湾）被认为具有整体推理倾向，而来自西方群体（美国）的参与者则被认为具有分析倾向。参与者是按照各大学的程序从心理学学科库中招募的。排除任务和分类任务的结果证实了分析-整体推理方面的假设差异。归因复杂性量表和面部表情任务确定了四组之间的重要差异。最后两项任务的结果因无关的群体差异而混淆，难以进行比较。在此探索性研究的基础上，罗塞塔项目的第二阶段将纳入更多群体和认知任务。还纳入了复杂认知的测量方法，以便将研究结果与自然情境联系起来。
