Difference in the Reaction to Stimuli between Chinese and Japanese

An Effect of National Identity

Abstract

Many reports have noted that individuals react to stimuli differently.1-10) We also thought reaction is different depending on national identity, so we compared the responses of Chinese students and Japanese students to various stimuli. We examined stimuli for the visual system, auditory system, motor system, and brain system and analyzed the results of the LF/HF value which is a stress index, and the wavelet coefficients strength diagram. We clearly found differences which appear to arise from the national identity.
