description Extant research has yet to uncover whether cultural differences exist in reactions to family member illness and how observed differences may be explained theoretically. The current project examines the impact of cultural worldview on health assessment and behavior—using inclusive measures capturing a range of health promoting activities—when a family member is ill. Following two phases of study, grounded in Markus and Kitayama's (1991) conjectures about self-construal and culture, results point to a relationship of interdependent construals of self and helping behavior as a form of health promotion in the context of a family illness. In light of research emphasizing the role of culture in motivating altruistic and relationship concerns, we propose two mechanisms through which the relationship among interdependent self-construal, family illness, and prosocial behavior can be explained. La recherche existante n'a pas découvert de différences culturelles dans les réactions des membres de la famille face à la maladie ni comment les différences observées peuvent être expliquées théoriquement. Le projet actuel examine l'impacte de la vision du monde culturelle sur l'évaluation de la santé et la façon d'agir en se servant des moyens inclusifs pour capturer toute une gamme d'activités de promotion de la santé lorsqu'un member de la famille est malade. Suite à deux phases d'étude fondé sur les conjectures de Markus et Kitayama en 1991 concernant la perception de soi et la culture, les résultats indiquent une relation entre les perceptions de soi interdépendantes et le comportement d'aide comme une forme de promotion de la santé dans le context d'une maladie dans la famille. Compte tenu de la recherché qui fait valoir le rôle de la culture dans la motivation des intérêts altruistes et relationnels, nous proposons deux méchanisms par lesquels la relation entre la perception de soi interdépendante, la maladie dans la famille et le comportement prosocial peuvent être expliqués.
