On the one hand, the way of thinking is closely related to culture, which embodies the characteristics of cultural psychology, and in turn restricts the elements of cultural psychology.

The mode of thinking is embodied in all fields of national culture, including material culture, institutional culture, behavior culture, spiritual culture and communication culture, especially in philosophy, language, science and technology, aesthetics, literature, art, medicine, religion, politics, economy, law, education, diplomacy, military affairs, production and daily life practice. The difference of thinking mode is an important reason for cultural differences.

On the other hand, the mode of thinking is closely related to language, which is the deep mechanism of language production and development, and language promotes the formation and development of the mode of thinking. Language is the main tool of thinking.

It is precisely because of the different ways of thinking that in many cases, orientals and westerners tend to attribute human behavior in opposite directions: Americans emphasize the role of individuals, while China emphasizes the role of environment and others.

For example, psychologist Peng Kaiping and others have studied the attribution of two murders by Americans and China people, and found that China people tend to attribute the events to the surrounding environment, while Americans think it is the result of the murderer's own characteristics.
