Abstract
Our research investigates the use of evaluations in the personal narratives of English-speaking Indian and US 5-year-olds, 9-year-olds, and adults. The narratives were coded for various evaluative devices, such as, mental state terms, causality, etc. Our findings showed that more evaluations were used in a collectivistic culture than previously found.
