Ask culture vs. guess culture
The concept of ask culture vs. guess culture is the idea that cultures—or personalities—divide into two classes regarding expectations about asking for favors: those where explicit requests for favors are acceptable, and the person requested for the favor may accept or reject the request without causing offence, and those where the asker is expected to first guess whether the favor is acceptable, since rejecting requests for favors is socially awkward for the asked person.[1] The observation is attributed to a posting on the MetaFilter website by Andrea Donderi.[2]
Although the concepts has entered into popular discourse,[3] there does not appear to have been any academic research to ascertain its validity.
