Abstract
We examined cultural variation in the relationship between shift-and-persist (SAP) coping and poverty-related cognition in Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom (N=1,470). Comparing SAP quartile 4 with quartile 1, SAP predicted lower stigma in the United States (MR=0.83) and United Kingdom (MR=0.88), but not in Japan.
