Differences Between Tight and Loose Cultures
The differences across cultures in the enforcement of conformity may reflect their specific histories.
Families Across Cultures
The Ecocultural Framework, Ecosocial Indices, and Psychological Variables in Cross-Cultural Research
Relationships between context variables (ecosocial indices) and psychological variables across different nations were investigated, guided by Berry’s Ecocultural Framework. The psychological variables were values (Hofstede; Inglehart; Schwartz; Smith, Dugan, and Trompenaars) and subjective well-being (Diener). The ecosocial indices of religion and affluence had separate and in some ways contrasting relationships with psychological variables. Some…
Family
In order to study psychological phenomena cross-culturally, it is necessary to understand the different types of family in cultures throughout the world and also how family types are related to cultural features of societies. This article discusses: The definitions and the structure and functions of family; the different family types and relationships with kin; the ecocultural determinants of variations of family types, e.g, ecological features, …
The Relationship of Family Bonds to Family Structure and Function Across Cultures
This study, using a contextual approach, explores the relationship of family bonds to family structure and function across five cultures: Greece, Cyprus, the Netherlands, Britain, and Germany. Its long-term goal is the construction of measures of family structure and functioning that are useful in cross-cultural research. Differences in emotional closeness, geographic proximity to relatives, and frequency of telephone contacts and meetings were n…
Individualism-Collectivism
Individualism-collectivism emerges from the literature as a high-order concept, explaining cross-cultural differences over a wide range of situations, with collectivists more inclined than individualists to provide for others. The present study challenges this conceptualization. Not only the readiness to support others (input) but also the expectation to receive support (output) has to be taken into account. Subjects in Hong Kong, Turkey, Greece,…
Acculturation of Greek Family Values
This article brings together two areas of current interest in cross-cultural psychology: acculturation and values. Specifically, to what extent do the values held by individuals change as they undergo the experience of acculturation? The cross-cultural study of values frequently examines a broad array of values, but the present study focuses on Greek family values because family is a central cultural institution. Because policies of the host soci…
An Ecocultural Taxonomy for Cross-Cultural Psychology
The problem of the interpretation or explanation of psychological variation or communality between cultures is the central methodo logical and theoretical issue in current cross-cultural psychology. There is a tendency to mistakenly equate "culture" with "nation" or "ethnic group." The concept of nation-state in cross-cultural research is used in both defining samples and interpreting results. The authors propose the use of ecological and social …
Value Acculturation and Response Tendencies of Biethnic Adolescents
The purpose of this study was to investigate the modes of acculturation and the response tendencies of adolescents (n = 133) of biethnic families living in Athens, as compared to adolescents (n = 113) of homoethnic families in Athens, and homoethnic adolescents (n = 80) of Greek immigrants in Germany and the Netherlands, by means of a scale of family values. Biethnic adolescents manifested different forms of acculturation of values as compared to…
Intrafamily Acculturation of Values in Greece
Changing ecological and social factors should result in different degrees of acculturation of family values associated with the traditional hierarchical collectivist family system, between parents and their sons and daughters within rural and urban contexts. A family values questionnaire was given to 226 three-person families (mother, father, 18-year-old son or daughter; 110 from Athens and 116 from small communities). The results indicate that (…
International Preferences in Selecting Mates
This study sought to identify the effects of culture and sex on mate preferences using samples drawn world-wide. Thirty-seven samples were obtained from 33 countries located on six continents and five islands (N = 9,474). Hierarchical multiple regressions revealed strong effects of both culture and sex, moderated by specific mate characteristics. Chastity proved to be the mate characteristic on which cultures varied the most. The preference order…
Self-Reported Expression of Embarrassment in Five European Cultures
Self-report data on the physiological/behavioral response associated with embarrassment were collected by questionnaire in Greece, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and West Germany. Blushing/increased temperature and smiling/grinning were reported consistently across nations, although blushing, as indexed by temperature change, was reported with twice the frequency in the U.K. sample as in the other European samples; gaze aversion and face touch…
Changing Family Values in Greece
Changes in family values in Greece, from traditional collectivist to individualist, are related to recent cultural and technological developments, to changes in the family system from extended to nuclear, to migration of the population from small rural communities to urban centers, to changes in the structure of the in-group, and so forth. A family values questionnaire was given to 417 students from Athens and from small rural communities. The fa…

The measurement of the etic aspects of individualism and collectivism across cultures
The dimension of individualism-collectivism, as identified by Hofstede (1980), was studied using items developed both theoretically and emically in nine diverse cultures. The dimension was found to be analysable into four stable etic factors: Individualism had two aspects (Separation from Ingroups and Self-Reliance with Hedonism) and collectivism had two aspects (Family Integrity and Interdependence with Sociability). These four factors are ortho…
Cooperative, competitive and individual problem‐solving
Purpose of this study was the problem‐solving effectiveness and time required for solution under cooperative, competitive, and individual conditions of 108 sixth grade Greek children. Thirty six three‐person groups, half all‐male and half all‐female, were given Mastermind and Questions problems across all three conditions. The sex (2) × conditions (3) A NOVA with repeated measures across conditions resulted in the most effective problem solver wo…
