CULTURAL INFLUENCES UPON THE PERCEPTION OF IMPLICATIVE RELATIONSHIP AMONG CONCEPTS AND THE ANALYSIS OF VALUES

Abstract

A new method for the analysis of the implicative relationships among concepts was presented. The method has sufficient reliability. It reveals meaningful cross-cultural differences in the perception of 20 concepts. The responses of approximately 1,500 male students, from Illinois, USA, Athens, Greece, Southern India, and Tokyo, Japan, provided information about cultural differences in the perception of causal relationships involving these concepts. The data were also employed in an analysis of values. The major trends of the results suggest that the Americans valued mostly achievement, self-development and peace of mind; the Greeks affiliation; the Indians status; and the Japanese achievement, self-development and aesthetic satisfaction.
