• 摘要: "This book reports the findings from extensive cross-cultural studies of the relative importance of different psychological traits in 20 countries and the relative favorability of these traits in a subset of 10 countries. While the work is devoted primarily to professionals and advanced students in the social sciences, the relatively nontechnical style employed should make the book comprehensible to anyone with a general grasp of the concepts and strategies of empirical behavioral science. , The psychological characteristics studied are the 300 items of the Adjective Check List (Gough & Heilbrun, 1980), translated as necessary. This highly versatile item pool has been used in previous cross-cultural studies of gender stereotypes (Williams & Best, 1990a), self concepts (Williams & Best, 1990b), and age stereotypes (Best & Williams, 1996; Williams, 1993). This use of a common method enables one to compare the relative degree of cross-cultural agreement in the various concepts studied (see Chapter 9). , Unique to the book are the appendices that enable interested readers to test hypotheses of their own devising related to the psychological importance and/or favorability of selected sets of person descriptors in different cultural settings. Appendix D provides, for the first time, the individual item values for the Five Factor scoring system for the Adjective Check List described by FormyDuval, Williams, Patterson, and Fogle (1995)."--Page ix. , This valuable text presents an exhaustive examination of the relative importance and favorability assigned to different psychological characteristics in a variety of cultural settings. Importance ratings in a worldwide sample of twenty countries, and the relative favorability of these traits in a subset of ten, are calculated in terms of the Five-Factor Model of personality and other scoring systems. One noteworthy chapter summarizes findings from previous cross-cultural studies evaluating gender and age stereotypes and self concepts. A unique feature is the extensive set of appendices, of which two let readers test hypotheses of their own devising and provide the individual item values for the Five-Factor Model scoring system.
