Although self-ratings of performance are usually higher than ratings obtained from supervisors, Farh, Dobbins, and Cheng (1991) found that Taiwanese workers exhibited modesty bias (i.e., self-ratings that were lower than supervisory ratings). They explanined their findings in terms of broad cultural differences between Taiwanese and Western workers. To test this cultural relativity hypothesis, we replicated their study using data from several organizations in mainland China. As is typically found in Western research, Chinese workers showed leniency in self-ratings(i.e. self-ratings that were higher than supervisor or peer ratings), which suggests that broad cultural factors do not explain the modesty bias repor Service Rating Self Ratings Personnel -- Service Rating-- China Personnel Psychology 180718
