Interestingly, Chinese but not British showed sensory attenuation for tones generated by others. This is consistent with our prediction stemming from the self-construal difference between cultural groups. The dominance of interdependency over independency in Eastern culture may lead to fewer differences between sensory consequences generated by others and self, thus easterners show sensory attenuation for others just like sensory attenuation for the self as reported in the literature.
