Senior/Junior Recipient Status and Reward Allocation
This study examines senior/junior recipient status as a possible determinant of perceived fairness of given allocations and allocation preference. Considering status as a feature associated with the cultural dimension of power distance, female university students from India (a high power distance, relatively collectivistic culture) and Canada (a low power distance, individualistic culture) were compared with regard to perceived fairness and alloc…
Work Culture in the Indian Context
Indian and Canadian Behavior in Two-Person Power Games
Two experiments are reported that contrast the behavior of East Indian and Canadian university students in two different two-person “power” games. In the first study each participant could affect the other's outcomes but one was able to exert more control than the other. It was found that both advantaged and disadvantaged Indians were less generous than their Canadian counterparts and that disadvantaged subjects, in both cultures, were less gener…
Effects of Sex Role in a Maximizing Difference Game
Same-sex dyads of Canadian males and females and mixed-sex dyads played 100 trials of a maximizing difference game in a replication of an experiment which used Flemish subjects performed by McNeel et al. (1972). It was found, in contrast to the Belgian investigation, and in line with earlier experiments in the United States which had used the Prisoner's Dilemma game, that the like-sex female dyads were most competitive, followed by the like-sex m…
Risk-Taking under Conditions of Chance and Skill in India and Canada
The risk-taking behavior of male Indian and Canadian students was observed in a gambling situation and in a situation dependent on skill. It was found that the Indians were more conservative than the Canadians in both situations. They chose high-probability bets when gambling and underestimated their performance on the skill task. The overall approach of the Indians was similar to that of individuals with low achievement drive, high fear of failu…
Coaction and Competition in India and Canada
Two experiments examined the performance of Indian and Canadian male undergraduates while either alone or coacting, under competitive and noncompetitive instructions and under instructions which emphasized either quality or quantity. The first experiment indicated that the Indians performed much more rapidly than the Canadians and were less responsive to the competitive instructions and the presence of a coactor. The Indians were found to have la…
The relationship of opinion-strength and order of self-produced arguments to number of arguments produced and opinion change
Participation and Opinion Change as Related to Cohesiveness and Sex of S s in Two-Person Groups
Three sets of equal numbers of male and female pairs of Ss were studied. In one set both members of each pair had been told that they should like each other. In a second set, one member had been given this information whereas the other had been told that there was no reason to believe he would get along with the other. In a third set, both pair members had been given the negative pre-instruction. The dependent measures were the amount of particip…
Resistance to Extinction of a Lever-Pulling Response in Humans as Related to Number and Pattern of Reinforcements
In this experiment, using a lever-pulling response in humans, 8, 12, and 16 reinforcements in acquisition were combined with 67% reinforcement administered either in a pattern, which was random, random with the last 4 correct responses reinforced or random with the last 6 correct responses reinforced. On the last correct response reinforcement was terminated and S allowed to continue responding as long as he wished. The total number of lever pull…
Persuasiveness and Persuasibility as Related to Intelligence and Emotional Responsiveness
This study was concerned with the contribution of intelligence and emotional responsiveness to persuasiveness and persuasibility of human Ss. Each pair of Ss was required to discuss a topic on which they had initially divergent opinions, with the persuasiveness of one over the other defined as shorter latency of first statement and higher frequency of participation in the discussion, and persuasibility as likelihood of opinion change. Three group…
