AB - purpose of this study is to examine cultural differences by comparatively analyzing the rhetorical sensitivity of Korean and Chinese university students in their twenties. Rhetorical sensitivity is a concept proposed by Hart & Burks(1972) that examines the personal traits of an individual when communicating with others. In this study, Eadie & Powell (1991)’s RHETSEN 2 is used to conduct a survey on Koreans and Chinese in their twenties. The result revealed that there is a significant difference between the two countries when it comes to rhetorical reflectors. Compared to Korea, China’s rhetorical reflectors ratio was higher; the ratio of Chinese women’s rhetorical reflectors was especially the highest. Additionally, according to the analysis of rhetorical reflectors survey response, Chinese university students have a stronger tendency to avoid arguments compared to Korean university students. Consequently, although both Korea and China belong to a collectivist culture, individualistic traits tend to appear more distinctly among the younger generation of Korea.
