Dimensions Of Well-Being: A Cross-Cultural Study In European Neighborhoods, Penny Panagiotopoulou, Aikaterini Gari, Sophia Christakopoulou
Dimensions Of Well-Being: A Cross-Cultural Study In European Neighborhoods, Penny Panagiotopoulou, Aikaterini Gari, Sophia Christakopoulou
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
People build their sense of well-being by responding to their objectively defined environment. The community environment and more specifically the neighborhood affects the subjective and psychological well being of the individuals. Neighboring refers to the residents’ social interaction and mutual material and non material support. This chapter attempts to examine how the social, political, and economic aspect of community life is related to community well-being focusing on community satisfaction, informal social interaction, feeling safe, the residents’ involvement in the community decision making process, the economic life, and the job opportunities and training of 705 participants in six European cultural settings: …
Research And Action On Intimate Partner Violence: Interdisciplinary Convergence Of Cultural Community Psychology And Cross-Cultural Psychology, Eric S. Mankowski, Gino Galvez, Nancy Glass
Research And Action On Intimate Partner Violence: Interdisciplinary Convergence Of Cultural Community Psychology And Cross-Cultural Psychology, Eric S. Mankowski, Gino Galvez, Nancy Glass
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
An analysis of the respective organizational histories, missions, and scholarly activity of the International Association for Cross-cultural Psychology (IACCP) and the Society for Community Research and Action (SCRA) indicates many points of shared values and actions, as well as some important differences. Both scholarly organizations developed out of a similar historical and cultural zeitgeist in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Our missions emphasize the role of culture/diversity in psychological phenomena, adopting an interdisciplinary orientation, the value of collaboration, the importance of research methods and ethics, and the value of action research. However, community psychology generally lacks an adequate treatment …
Rogelio Díaz-Guerrero: A Legacy Of Psychological Creation And Research, Rolando Diaz-Loving, Ignacio Lozano
Rogelio Díaz-Guerrero: A Legacy Of Psychological Creation And Research, Rolando Diaz-Loving, Ignacio Lozano
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Rogelio Díaz-Guerrero’s journey began in 1918, born into a large (13 brothers and sisters) and very typical and traditional Mexican family in his homeland, Guadalajara. In search of the keys to understand human behavior, he moved to Mexico City immediately after finishing high school, where he studied medicine whilst taking psychology and chemistry classes at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). During this stage of his life, he was a student to a series of distinguished and prominent Mexican professors and thinkers: Enrique Aragon, Ezequiel Chavez, Guillermo Davila, Oswaldo Robles, Antonio Caso, Samuel Ramos and Jose Gaos. Finishing his …
Are Attitudes Of Young Portuguese Towards Immigration Also Hardening? A Comparison Between 1999 And 2006, Félix Neto
Are Attitudes Of Young Portuguese Towards Immigration Also Hardening? A Comparison Between 1999 And 2006, Félix Neto
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The host majority has an important impact on how immigrants adapt to their new land. The focus of the present chapter1 is to understand attitudes of Portuguese young people towards immigration. To achieve this aim, a pilot study was conducted with the ISATIS (International Study of Attitudes Towards Immigration and Settlement) instrument. The sample consisted of 477 Portuguese youngsters attending courses in high school, interviewed in 1999 and in 2006. All participants were of Portuguese origin and 94% were born in Portugal. Their age ranged between 16 and 20 years. An examination of acculturation expectations towards immigration showed that Integration …
Relating Self-Complexity To Coping And Adaptation With Chinese College Students: A New Measurement Perspective, Wenshu Luo, David Watkins
Relating Self-Complexity To Coping And Adaptation With Chinese College Students: A New Measurement Perspective, Wenshu Luo, David Watkins
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Research into self-complexity has been hampered by problems with its measurement. The present study was designed to test the generality of Western findings about self-complexity and improve the measurement and our understanding of this construct by examining the relationships of four measures of self-complexity to coping and psychological adaptation with 347 Chinese college students. A new measure, the Self-Complexity Task was developed to obtain the number of self-aspects and the average distinction among self-aspects separately, and was employed in parallel to Linville’s H measure as the overlap among self-aspects in terms of their descriptive traits. As found in Western cultures, …
Acquiescence And Extremity In Cross-National Surveys: Domain Dependence And Country-Level Correlates, Tobias K. Van Dijk, Femke Datema, Stephanie C. M. Welten, Fons J. R. Van De Vijver
Acquiescence And Extremity In Cross-National Surveys: Domain Dependence And Country-Level Correlates, Tobias K. Van Dijk, Femke Datema, Stephanie C. M. Welten, Fons J. R. Van De Vijver
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Likert-type rating scales are susceptible to response styles, such as acquiescence and extremity scoring. Although it is widely acknowledged that response styles can seriously invalidate findings of cross-cultural research, their theoretical underpinnings are hardly explored. The current study analyzed domain-dependency and country differences in acquiescence and extremity scoring in a large dataset of the International Social Survey Program. The hypothesis that response styles are more likely in domains with a high personal relevance compared to domains with a low personal relevance was tentatively confirmed. Correlations with various cultural, psychological, and economic variables were investigated. We found that acquiescence was negatively …

Innovative Disaster Counseling Approaches With Children And Youth, Thomas Demaria, Minna Barrett
Innovative Disaster Counseling Approaches With Children And Youth, Thomas Demaria, Minna Barrett
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Children and youth from all cultures are at high risk following a disaster because of their dependency on caregivers and their stage of cognitive and emotional development. Without an available caregiver to help interpret the traumatic event, most children internalize their experiences making them more vulnerable to future stressors. Traumatic events also can lead to psychological and environment dislocation of children from ethnocultural support structures and systems of meaning. Engagement of families is often a significant barrier that prevents the utilization of existing services. An innovative counseling approach is presented that was utilized following the World Trade Center terrorist attacks. …
Education In Cross-Cultural Settings: Psychological Underpinnings Of Achievement In Papua New Guinea, Genevieve F. Nelson, Jasmine Green, Dennis M. Mcinerney, Martin Dowson, Andrew C. Schauble
Education In Cross-Cultural Settings: Psychological Underpinnings Of Achievement In Papua New Guinea, Genevieve F. Nelson, Jasmine Green, Dennis M. Mcinerney, Martin Dowson, Andrew C. Schauble
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Education and achievement in Papua New Guinea has received minimal attention in the psychological and educational literature. Although student motivation and achievement have been investigated in a large variety of cultures throughout the world, this has not been substantially extended to the developing world. The current study investigated a selection of psychological processes that contribute to student achievement in the context of a majority, indigenous and developing culture. Motivational goal orientations, learning and self-regulatory processes of 359 students from Papua New Guinea (PNG) were investigated. Structural equation modeling investigated the relations between the psychological variables. Results are discussed in the …
Developing Social Policy In A Multi-Cultural Setting: The Role Of Applied Cross-Cultural Psychology, Vassos Gavriel
Developing Social Policy In A Multi-Cultural Setting: The Role Of Applied Cross-Cultural Psychology, Vassos Gavriel
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
How should public policies respond to the dynamics of the multicultural setting? This chapter illustrates how cross-cultural psychology was used to provide tangible intellectual support to help develop and frame a policy response in the multicultural setting. Over the past twenty years, New Zealand has changed from a bicultural to multicultural society competing in the global economy. This chapter identifies policy issues and challenges the transition to a diverse, multicultural society has created, the type of response that was developed and its outcome. These are informed by the author’s personal reflections in developing and promoting Ethnic Perspectives in Policy, a …
Cultural Conception Of Friendship: What Do Ecuadorians And Poles Expect From A Friend?, Zuzanna Wisniewska, Pawel Boski
Cultural Conception Of Friendship: What Do Ecuadorians And Poles Expect From A Friend?, Zuzanna Wisniewska, Pawel Boski
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The present study investigates similarities and differences in perception of emotional support and conversational intimacy between friends. Burleson’s (1994) typology of emotional support and analysis of Polish vs. Latin American cultures served as the theoretical framework for this study. Participants (Ecuadorians=87, Poles=60) completed a questionnaire consisting of five episodes-dialogues between two women whose behaviors reflected two variables: (i) Type of emotional support: Low versus High person-centered; and (ii) Success versus Failure story. Both partners, in dyads, where emotional support was high person-centered, enjoyed more positive evaluation than friends in low person-centered support dyads. Poles were more sensitive to how the …
Strategies Of Friendship Maintenance In Mexico: Gender Differences, Claudia López Becerra, Isabel Reyes Lagunes, Sofia Rivera Aragón
Strategies Of Friendship Maintenance In Mexico: Gender Differences, Claudia López Becerra, Isabel Reyes Lagunes, Sofia Rivera Aragón
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Friendship development refers to the course that people follow since they know each other until they may stop being close friends any more. In this process, the actions making the progress of the relationship possible should be considered, as well as what attracts one person to another and the actions that maintain and deepen the relationship. Blieszner & Adams (1992) agree that friendship develops from knowing each other to obtaining emotional closeness; they define phases that describe changes in friendship. They also agree that those phases do not follow a predetermined sequence, for some friendships become quite close and some …
Subcultural Influences On Self-Attitudes: The Expression Of Low Self-Esteem In Race/Ethnicity-, Age-, Gender-, Social Class-, And Generation-Differentiated Subgroups, Howard B. Kaplan, Rachel E. Kaplan, Diane S. Kaplan
Subcultural Influences On Self-Attitudes: The Expression Of Low Self-Esteem In Race/Ethnicity-, Age-, Gender-, Social Class-, And Generation-Differentiated Subgroups, Howard B. Kaplan, Rachel E. Kaplan, Diane S. Kaplan
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Self-esteem is conceptualized in terms of self-feelings that are evoked by self-evaluation of self-concept and that motivate self-enhancing or self-protective responses. Since (sub)cultural conventions and the self-esteem motive frequently invalidate self-report measures, it is argued that self-esteem should be measured as the confluence of self-evaluative statements and measures of subjective distress. In support of this, findings are presented from a longitudinal multigeneration study that demonstrate variation in the association between self-evaluative statements and reports of emotional distress between groups differentiated according to race/ethnicity, age, gender, social class, and generation. The results clearly indicate that prevalent self-report measures, whether considering total …
South Asians In Scandinavia: Diasporic Identity Processes, Rashmi Singla
South Asians In Scandinavia: Diasporic Identity Processes, Rashmi Singla
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This chapter1 probes selected social-psychological aspects for South Asian young adults in Denmark and is a follow up of a Danish project conducted in the mid-nineties. The diasporic conceptualizations in respect to human centeredness and cultural processes in migration combined with life course perspective, provide the theoretical framework for this study. In-depth interviews were employed, and information was analyzed through meaning condensation and subsequent categorization of the narratives. The results show the reinterpretation of the self, “others” and home in the diasporic families, for the parental as well as the young generation. The chapter also depicts the young adults’ diasporic …
Predicting Opposition Towards Immigration: Economic Resources, Social Resources And Moral Principles, Alice Ramos, Jorge Vala
Predicting Opposition Towards Immigration: Economic Resources, Social Resources And Moral Principles, Alice Ramos, Jorge Vala
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This study analyses the predictors of opposition towards immigrants of “different ethnic groups” and “poor countries” in 5 European countries (Portugal, Germany, Netherlands, France and United Kingdom), using data from the European Social Survey 1 (Jowell & the Central Coordinating Team, 2003). Besides Portugal, a country that has moved from being one of net emigration to being a new host country for immigrants, the other countries were selected according to their main policies of immigrants’ integration. Opposition towards immigration (OTI) is analysed using three theoretical models: a) the economic self-interest model that proposes that opposition towards immigration may be due …
Dimensions Of Social Axioms And Alternative Country-Clustering Methods, Aikaterini Gari, Kostas Mylonas, Penny Panagiotopoulou
Dimensions Of Social Axioms And Alternative Country-Clustering Methods, Aikaterini Gari, Kostas Mylonas, Penny Panagiotopoulou
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Social Axioms are defined as general beliefs that represent one’s view about how the world functions and how two entities are related “in the universe”. The Social Axiom dimensions as proposed by Leung & Bond are Social Cynicism, Social Complexity, Reward for Application, Fate Control, and Religiosity. The first aim of this study was to investigate how the Social Axiom dimensions are identified in Greece and in five more countries (N=1,375) that differ broadly in their ecological and religion characteristics (Hong-Kong, USA, UK, Spain, and India). The second aim was to enhance factor equivalence levels by forming homogeneous subsets of …

Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
In this investigation we were concerned with the cultural covariates of temporal orientation in 14 different national contexts. Data were collected from United States of America (US), Australia, Germany, Poland, Chile, Venezuela, Turkey, United Arab Emirates (UAE), India, Indonesia, Malaysia Japan, South Korea and China. Analyses show that collectivistic cultural orientation tends to be relatively important in the prediction of three facets of temporal orientation (i.e. emphasis on planning and scheduling; sense of time and attitude towards time).
Enhancing Psychological Assessment In Sub-Saharan Africa Through Participant Consultation, Amina Abubakar, Fons J. R. Van De Vijver, Anneloes Van Baar, Patricia Kitsao-Wekulo, Penny Holding
Enhancing Psychological Assessment In Sub-Saharan Africa Through Participant Consultation, Amina Abubakar, Fons J. R. Van De Vijver, Anneloes Van Baar, Patricia Kitsao-Wekulo, Penny Holding
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
There are few psychological tools developed and standardized for use in sub-Saharan Africa. Consulting with target populations provides a potentially powerful procedure to develop and adapt measures for this population. This review identifies and describes methods used to consult target populations in sub-Saharan Africa. Relevant studies were identified using PsycINFO and PubMed, supplemented by a review of relevant books. We further illustrate the role of participant consultation in psychological assessment with examples of our work in Kilifi (Kenya). Three major approaches are described: focus groups, individual interviews, and participant observation. Participants have been consulted to generate items, identify appropriate assessment …
Effects Of Reading Direction On Visuospatial Organization: A Critical Review, Sylvie Chokron, Seta Kazandjian, Maria De Agostini
Effects Of Reading Direction On Visuospatial Organization: A Critical Review, Sylvie Chokron, Seta Kazandjian, Maria De Agostini
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Over the past decades, a growing literature on perceptual bias has investigated the factors that determine normal performance in simple visuospatial tasks, such as line bisection and aesthetic preference. Normal right-handed participants may exhibit spatial asymmetries in these tasks with a tendency to bisect to the left of the objective middle in line bisection and a preference for images with the center of interest in their right half in aesthetic preference tasks. These patterns of performance have mostly been attributed to hemispheric imbalance. Other explanations have also been put forth to explain the spatial asymmetries seen in the normal population. …
Comparative Study On Concept Construction For Violence, Intelligence And Religion In Early Adolescence In The Parisian Suburbs, Annamária Lammel, Eduardo Márquez
Comparative Study On Concept Construction For Violence, Intelligence And Religion In Early Adolescence In The Parisian Suburbs, Annamária Lammel, Eduardo Márquez
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Based on association tasks, we focused our research on the process of concept construction and on the nature of the semantic structure network of three important concepts in the lives of young adolescents in the Parisian suburbs: violence, religion and intelligence. In this exploratory study, we were interested in identifying similarities and differences in the organization of these social concepts between adolescents with French parents and adolescents with immigrant parents. Despite the fact that these children share common “eco-cultural” experiences, we supposed that the different cultural guidelines in the family settings might influence the construction and the semantic organization of …
Exploring The Consequences Of Biculturalism: Cognitive Complexity, Verónica Benet-Martínez, Fiona Lee
Exploring The Consequences Of Biculturalism: Cognitive Complexity, Verónica Benet-Martínez, Fiona Lee
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
To explore the possible socio-cognitive consequences of biculturalism, we examined the complexity of cultural representations in monocultural and bicultural individuals. Study 1 found that Chinese-American biculturals’ free descriptions of both American and Chinese cultures were higher in cognitive complexity than that of Anglo-American monoculturals, but the same effect was not apparent in descriptions of culturally-neutral entities (landscapes). Using the same procedures, Study 2 found that the cultural representations of biculturals with low levels of Bicultural Identity Integration (BII; or biculturals with conflicted cultural identities) were more cognitively complex than that of biculturals with high BII (biculturals with compatible cultural identities). …

Youtube, The Internet And Iaccp: Opportunities And Challenges For Cross-Cultural Psychology, William K. Gabrenya Jr., Nathalie Van Meurs, Ronald Fischer
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
We culturalists are an unusual lot! Dispersed geographically and divided socially by potential and real political conflict, economic competition, religious disagreement and vast disparities in wealth and resources, we struggle with the dilemma of studying diversities that can only be understood adequately through effective communication and collaboration. The International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology was conceptualized by psychologists who recognized and participated in this dialectical context. The Founders set out to create an organization that would provide communication venues in order to facilitate the development of a community of psychologists who would collaborate on cultural research. Communication, indeed, was the starting …
The Iaccp Archives Project, John W. Berry, Walt Lonner
The Iaccp Archives Project, John W. Berry, Walt Lonner
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
In July 2006 a workshop featuring a suggested IACCP Archives Project was part of the programme at the IACCP international congress in Spetses, Greece. About 25 highly interested people attended it. An informal meeting was held about a week later. John Berry and Walt Lonner, and several senior members of IACCP, were active participants in both sessions. Everyone involved so far has enthusiastically endorsed the basic idea of establishing the Archives and finding a permanent home for them. We also will need to develop some procedures for possible uses of the various components that the archives may contain.
From Homer To The 21st Century: Charting The Emergence Of The Structure Of Interpersonal Meaning, John Adamopoulos
From Homer To The 21st Century: Charting The Emergence Of The Structure Of Interpersonal Meaning, John Adamopoulos
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
During the last quarter of the 20th century, cross-cultural research established that the meaning of interpersonal behavior can be described in terms of a universal structure that includes, among others, the notions of association (affiliation), superordination (dominance), and intimacy. While researchers generally agree on most of these universal dimensions, little is known about their origins –the whys and the wherefores of these structures. An approach designed to explain the emergence of the meaning of interpersonal behavior is the focus of this chapter. This approach is based on the assumption that social behavior involves the exchange of material and psychological resources, …
Causes Of Culture: National Differences In Cultural Embeddedness, Shalom H. Schwartz
Causes Of Culture: National Differences In Cultural Embeddedness, Shalom H. Schwartz
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
What causes national differences in culture? Past attempts to answer this question take insufficient account of how slowly culture changes or of the fact that culture itself influences the social structural, political, and demographic variables identified as causes. Convincing causes of cultural differences must meet three criteria: They should reflect the formative historical experiences of societies, they should not be influenced reciprocally by culture, and theoretically plausible process should explain their impact on culture. I propose and explain causes of national differences in cultural embeddedness, a value orientation that calls upon people to find meaning in life through identifying with …

Beyond Indigenization: International Dissemination Of Research By Majority-World Psychologists, John G. Adair, Yoshi Kashima, Maria Regina Maluf, Janak Pandey
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Analyses of the affiliations of authors of articles published in targeted samples of North American and international journals revealed trends toward increasing international publication by psychologists from countries outside the U.S., i.e., from countries in the rest of the world (ROW). Relatively few of these ROW publications came from psychologists from developing countries. Because developing countries are most numerous and represent the majority of the people in the world, their contribution to the world of psychology is important. Following a summary presentation of data for each journal for psychologists from East Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and South Asia …
Early Childhood Services And Supports In The Context Of Cultural Community Psychology, Richard N. Roberts
Early Childhood Services And Supports In The Context Of Cultural Community Psychology, Richard N. Roberts
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
cultural and community aspects of the family’s and child’s experience. Though the effects of each of these variables may be hard to separate, distinct elements of each can be seen in the three examples used to illustrate this point. The common theme of the three case studies demonstrates that neither the community ecology nor cultural archetypes provide sufficiently satisfactory explanations for the everyday behaviors of the family members. Rather, the common denominator involves the context in which community and cultural influences interact to determine the outcome. When the context is one that supports both sets of influences, the families of …
Uncertainty Orientation: A Theory Of Self-Regulation Within And Across Cultures As Related To Cognition, Andrew C. H. Szeto, Richard M. Sorrentino, Satoru Yasunaga, John Nezlek
Uncertainty Orientation: A Theory Of Self-Regulation Within And Across Cultures As Related To Cognition, Andrew C. H. Szeto, Richard M. Sorrentino, Satoru Yasunaga, John Nezlek
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Erich Fromm once said “the quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.” For some, this quote is unmistakably true, impelling them to great discoveries of nature and the mind. For others, uncertainty is the very essence of confusion and ambiguity, offering nothing more than reason to retreat to more predictable and certain times. In this chapter, we explore the theory of uncertainty orientation as related to cognition and cognitive processes, including research that was conducted in Canada, Japan, and China. First, we discuss the characteristic uncertainty selfregulation …
Intergenerational Transmission Of Values In Different Cultural Contexts: A Study In Germany And Indonesia, Isabelle Albert, Gisela Trommsdorff, Lieke Wisnubrata
Intergenerational Transmission Of Values In Different Cultural Contexts: A Study In Germany And Indonesia, Isabelle Albert, Gisela Trommsdorff, Lieke Wisnubrata
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The aim of this study1 is to investigate cultural similarities and differences in the transmission of general and domain-specific value orientations (individualism/collectivism, and value of children) within German and Indonesian families. Supposing that both cultures differ with respect to developmental pathways of independence and interdependence, we asked if the extent of intergenerational transmission of values within families differs between Germany and Indonesia, and we studied possible cultural differences in intergenerational transmission with respect to different value contents. More precisely, we asked if there is a difference in transmission of values that are highly versus not highly endorsed by the members …
