Cultural Norms Informing Other-Conscious Selfhood in Chinese Relational Worlds

This research adopts methodological relationalism as its conceptual framework. The Collection of Sages' Maxims (CSM) is used as the basic data to derive the cultural norms. Based on these norms, eight parameters (prs) are derived with 24 metaperception components of filial piety and fraternal submission(FPFS)-based interpersonal loyalty. These FPFS loyalty (FPFSL) metaperception components as third-eye party are seen to be highly sensitive and vigilant with regard to transgressions of the cultural maxim-based norms. Then these metaperception components are supposed to help prompt the transgressor to generate emotions of guilt and shame in his/her reflection.
