Does culture shape reported parenting styles and cognitive processes like transitive reasoning, of choosing A over B , B over C , and then A over C (transitivity)? A sian‐ A merican, C aucasian‐ A merican, and I ndian university students differed significantly in transitivity and in reported parental styles. I ndia participants were more intransitive and, contrary to traditional findings in the literature, reported their parents as more laissez‐faire, individualistic, and competitive than did C aucasian‐ A mericans. Recent technological and industrial advances in I ndia likely explain some of these obtained differences. Predictions from A dlerian theory and work of K urt L ewin, that parenting styles would relate to transitivity of choices, were indirectly supported. Stronger evidence was found that culture impacts both reported parental styles and transitivity of simple choices.
