No, because... Attributions vary by culture (Hedden et al 2000)
This does not mean the attributions are necessarily less accrurate - the culture of the West is individualised and the East collectivised, so these causes may in fact be right. Also, there may be more than one cause - the Chinese student may have been both and agressive person (dispositional) and also alienated at school (situational).
When a Chinese physics student studying in the US shot his adviser, fellow students and himself the attributions made by the Chinese and the American media differed. American media attributed his behaviour to his disposition and Chinese media to the situation (he was isolated from the chinese commuity, guns are readily available in the U.S). This difference of attributions by different nationalities suggests we are not always accurate.
