However, priming introduces a fluid aspect to studies of cross-cultural usage of pronouns since specific context can induce favorability toward either collectivist or individualistic mindsets (Oyserman & Lee, 2008). This tendency to either segregate or connect appears to interact with interpersonal assessments. Perceived reasons for individual behaviors by members of individualistic cultures are more likely to result from judgments based on ascribed attributes or traits, while those made by members of interdependent cultures are more apt to incorporate contextual or situational elements (Church et al., 2006; Na & Kitayama, 2011).

Black people struggle as a culture with what is considered proper English to them as a whole. If someone articulates their words native Ebonics speakers say that the person talks like a white person.

Unit 301 Promote communication in health, Social care, or children’s and young people’s settings Outcome 3 1) People from other backgrounds may use or interpret words differently to what myself or another person may do and express themselves in a different way e.g. people who are confident can be very verbal and use hand gestures and facial expressions to express themselves, whereas someone who is not very confident and perhaps quite shy, may use fewer gestures to communicate and might use less eye contact.
