reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0663889 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A review of the results obtained when a variety of new techniques for the analysis of the way a person perceives his social environment is applied to the comparison of two cultural groups, reveals some basic similarities in the obtained results. The various methods give complementary information. The data were obtained from studies of the subjective culture of Americans and Greeks. Comparable instruments were administered to the two cultural groups and the results are presented in terms of the differences between American and Greek perceptions of social reality. The analysis of subjective culture is likely to help in the understanding of transcultural conflict, as well as in the development of theory concerning interpersonal attitudes, interpersonal behavior, and conflict resolution.
