Mean Simultaneous Accessibility and Self-Concept Inconsistency Scores by Culture and Domain

	Japan	U.S.	df	F	p <
Extraversion/introversion
Simultaneous accessibility	0.70	0.67	53	4.96	.05
Self-concept inconsistency (computer)	0.76	0.56	55	6.93	.05
Self-concept inconsistency (questionnaire)	0.76	0.68	57	4.06	.05
Creativity/conventionality
Simultaneous accessibility	0.68	0.61	33	8.99	.01
Self-concept inconsistency (computer)	0.50	0.28	54	5.50	.05
Self-concept inconsistency (questionnaire)	0.76	0.63	56	11.65	.01

NOTE: The degrees of freedom are lower for the accessibility scores because of the response format. An accessibility score can only be computed for participants who responded “me” to at least one trait in each of the domains.
