Detailed references & my thoughts!

All the papers I read in researching this video were so eye opening but if I could only recommend two (I couldn't cut this down to one) it would be Wong and Ahuvia's paper on interpreting social events and Rappleye and Komatsu's paper in examining the bias exhibited in international reports on bullying in East Asia. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh when I told you my jaw dropped at both their findings and conclusions !!! And of course the PISA/OECD reports are all down below if you want to see the data for yourself!
