Abstract
In a study of U.S. and Russian students, the students' affective reactions to payment allocations by equity, equality, and choice differed little between countries. However, when allocating bonuses under scenarios, Russian students heavily weighted a person's need, while U.S. students explicitly denied need as a basis for allocations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
