Abstract
In recent research scholars have addressed the issue of an individual's behavior in feedback-seeking activity and, except in scant studies, have virtually ignored the role of culture in this area.In this article we explore four cultural syndromes, based on past research, to form a cross-cultural model of feedback-seeking behavior.We advance propositions for the study of culture as a moderator to feedback-seeking behavior.

It is concluded that considerable improvement is evident in recent cross-cultural research, however, future research must include a broader range of cultures and attend more closely to the levels at which cultural effects should be analyzed, and cultural samples must be unpackaged in more psychologically useful ways.
