  In a recent issue of Fortune there’s a picture of a smiling lawyer standing in a Houston McDonald’s with his lunch order. He didn’t phone the order in. He faxed it over. He’s standing beside the store’s fax machine, in front of the register set up just for faxed orders.

  The article itself talks about how the fax is revolutionizing business and it’s pretty convincing. But then Fortune comes to the real point. “Like the TV or VCR,” it says, “the fax is another western invention the U.S. surrendered to Japan.” Xerox invented it. But now, it turns out, Xerox makes it only in Japan through a joint venture.

  What’s happened with the fax is not an isolated incident. Most of us learned in grade school about the geniuses of American industry who invented things, then made a fortune selling them: Eli Whitney assembling those first cotton gins; Henry Ford, watching those Model-Ts roll off the assembly lines in Dearborn.

  Americans are still inventing things. But these days, the fortunes are often made by others. Just look around your own home. American scientists at Raytheon developed that microwave in your kitchen. But Japanese and Korean companies make 90 percent of them. American scientists at RCA invented that color T

  Abstract

  Understanding cross-cultural aspects of emotional overinvolvement (EOI) on psychosis outcomes is important for ensuring cultural appropriateness of family interventions. This systematic review explores whether EOI has similar impact in different cultural groups and whether the same norms can be used to measure EOI across cultures. Thirty-four studies were found that have investigated the impact of EOI on outcomes across cultures or culturally adapted EOI measures. The relationship between high EOI and poor outcome is inconsistent across cultures. Attempts to improve predictive ability by post hoc adjustment of EOI norms have had varied success. Few studies have attempted a priori adaptations or development of culture-specific norms. Methodological differences such as use of different expressed emotions (EE) measures and varying definitions of relapse across studies may explain a lack of EOI outcome relationship across cultures. However, our findings suggest that the construct and measurement of EOI itself are culture-specific. EOI may not necessarily be detrimental in all cultures. The effect of high EOI may be moderated by the unexplored dimension of warmth and high levels of mutual interdependence in kin relationships. Researchers should reevaluate the prevailing c
