Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study examined the extent to which one year age difference influenced college students’ communication behaviors in the United States and Korea. Korean students clearly differentiated themselves from one year older or younger students. They agreed that one year difference between college students made a big difference, and thought the one year younger should show respect and use formal languages to the one year older. They also felt that the one year older should show respect to the one year younger. American students thought differences in experiences was more important than age differences. This study proposed an alternative way of explaining cultural differences in the conception of age: relativity in perception, cognition, and behavior. The reason Koreans showed higher sensitivity to age differences was due to their strong tendency of seeing, thinking, and acting relatively. The findings that Korean students felt that they had to be respectful towards the one year younger can be better explained by relativity than the collectivism-individualism distinction.
