Ethnic Identity
Ethnic Identity
The present study examined variability in ethnic identity among the ethnic groups that comprise the White racial category. Based on participants' ethnic self-labels, high school and college students (n = 495) were assigned to one of six groups: Armenian, Greek, Jewish, European, Mixed White ancestry ("Irish and Italian"), and Pan-ethnic ("White"). Individuals who identified with Specific White groups (Armenian, Greek, Jewish) had higher ethnic id…
Cultural and Sex Differences in Rating the Self and an Hypothetical Well-Adjusted Person on Jack's Divided Self and Care as Self-Sacrifice Subscales
Ratings of the self and of an hypothetical well-adjusted man and woman on the Divided Self and Care as Self-sacrifice subscales of the Silencing the Self Scale were obtained for samples of men and women in the USA and Greece. Factor analysis confirmed the items' assignment to subscales for each of the three sets of ratings. Generally, Greeks scored higher than Americans on both subscales. While men usually scored higher than women on the Care sub…
Silencing the Self
Two cognitive schemas, Divided Self and Care As Self-sacrifice, relating the silencing of the self to intimate relationships were investigated for their association with norm discrepancy and double standard for gender in Greece ( n = 373) and in the USA (Americans, n = 333, Greek Americans, n = 66). Differences within gender and cultural groups were observed. Most strikingly, in Greece persons of each sex expected more self-sacrifice from those o…
Autonomy and Theoretical Orientation of Remedial and Non-Remedial College Students
During the past several decades many educators have stressed that education should enhance students' personality development as well as increase their cognitive functioning. A number of studies have demonstrated that the experience of attending college had a positive association with personality growth. In recent years the number of poorly prepared students admitted to colleges has increased significantly. There has been, however, a lack of studi…
Opinions about Mental Illness
The influence of cultural change on attitudes towards mental patients was examined by comparing two American ( ns = 76, 104) and two Greek ( ns = 103, 116) samples, one drawn from each country in 1969 and the second in 1979. In Greece a decrease in negative attitudes is observed while in the USA a reduction in positive attitudes is noted. These changes have narrowed the differences between the two countries. They appear to reflect recent socio-ec…
Opinions about Mental Illness
The attitudes of professionals and laymen in the USA and in Greece towards mental patients were compared by using the Opinions Towards Mental Illness questionnaire. Two factors labeled Authoritarian-Restrictiveness and Familial Interaction were identified and judged to reflect traditional cultural values. Nationality was more powerful than professional training in determining attitudes towards mental illness. The influence of professional trainin…
