Abstract
Cross-cultural research suggests that individualistic-collectivistic orientations tend to shape and influence psychological processes. The present study examined the associations of cultural orientation with emotional intelligence, mental health, and satisfaction with life in Australia (an individualistic culture) and India (a collectivistic culture). Participants from Australia (n=207) and India (n=163) completed questionnaires assessing individualistic-collectivistic orientations, emotional intelligence, mental health, and satisfaction with life. Regression analyses indicated that collectivistic orientation was significantly associated with greater emotional intelligence and better mental health outcomes. Cultural orientation did not significantly predict satisfaction with life in both countries. Implications based on these findings were discussed.
