New research suggests that ethnic East Asians--but not ethnic South Asians--underperform in US business and law schools due to a cultural mismatch in assertiveness

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In the US, Asians are often viewed as the "model minority" as a result of their outstanding academic achievements. Asians outperform other ethnic groups in many educational settings, from kindergarten to high school to college admissions exams (e.g., the SAT, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT), leading many to assume that all Asians are successful at every step of their academic careers.

Key Points: 
  • The researchers compared academic performance of East Asians (e.g., ethnic Chinese, Japanese) and South Asians (e.g., ethnic Indians, Pakistanis) with other ethnic groups in US business and law schoolsimportant gateways to societal influence.
  • Influenced by cultural norms of humility, harmony, and hierarchy, East Asian students were the least assertive among all ethnic groups across the studies.
  • This low assertiveness disadvantages them in the Socratic classroom of US business and law schools, where verbal assertiveness and class participation are vital.
  • There are also fewer cues that trigger East Asians' cultural norms of "saving face," yielding to classmates, and deferring to the professor.
