Many Asian cultures are collectivistic; that is, they tend to place a greater emphasis on the welfare of the group than on the individual. Conversely, Western cultures tend to stress individual performance more than that of the group. A reasonable hypothesis would be that the social loafing effect is:
A. Stronger in collectivist cultures
B. Unaffected by cultural norms
C. Stronger in Western cultures
D. Almost nonexistent in collectivistic cultures
