Developing an innovative cross-cultural strategy to promote HIV/Aids prevention in different ethnic cultural groups of China
The HIV and STIs epidemic in China has had a significant impact among China's ethnic minorities. However, the official traditional approach, which has used an anti-epidemic social campaign, has not paid any attention to the diversity of cultural backgrounds of the many ethnic minority groups. This study carried out in Sichuan Province is the first to explore how to use cultural resources for developing an effective strategy for promoting HIV prev…
Cross-Cultural Studies in Child Development in Asian Contexts
Over a number of years, the author has been involved in crosscultural research with Asian and Australian children and adolescents. This article will review some of the work done with and by some of the author's colleagues in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and China. These countries are all multicultural, yet the contributions of these Asian researchers to the role of cultural factors in development are not as well known as they should be. Some re…
The Effects of Work Environment and In-Group Membership on the Leadership Preferences of Anglo-Australians and Chinese Australians
The effects of in-group membership and work environment on the leadership preferences of Anglo-Australians and Chinese Australians were examined. Leadership styles were based on Misumi's PM theory. Subjects were sixty Anglo-Australian and sixty Chinese Australian males, all of whom were full-time white-collar employees in large organizations. Leadership profiles, vignettes describing different work environments, and in-group/out-group membership …

Comparative Research on the Social Determinants of Adolescent Drinking
Barbara J. Bank, Bruce J. Biddle, Don S. Anderson, Ragnar Hauge, Daphne M. Keats, John A. Keats, Marjorie M. Marlin, Simone Valantin, Comparative Research on the Social Determinants of Adolescent Drinking, Social Psychology Quarterly, Vol. 48, No. 2 (Jun., 1985), pp. 164-177
Social Influence, Self-Referent Identity Labels, and Behavior
Self-referent identity labels are frequently argued to be a central component of the self and to be important in the planning of conduct. Despite the attractiveness of this argument, relatively little research has yet appeared that supports it, and studies of the etiology and effects of self-referent labels often fail to control for the confounding effects of preferences, norms. or other conceptions that are known to affect conduct. In this paper…
The Structure of Idleness: In-School and Dropout Adolescent Activities in the United States and Australia

Reasoning about Implication: A Comparison of Malaysian and Australian Subjects
The difficulty associated with implicatory reasoning, in particular Wason's "selection task," was studied cross-culturally. The extent to which logical interpretation of implication contributed to success on the selection task was also investigated. Malaysian and Australian University students were tested with thematic, or abstract content on two tasks: (a) selection task, and (b) classification task (which tested subjects' understanding of impli…
Elements of Intellectual Competence: Judgments by Australian and Malay University Students
Australian and Malay University students judged the relative importance of various forms of intellectual competence. The two groups agreed on the importance of four general areas of competence, giving the top two rankings to "mental abilities" (e.g., problem-solving) and "knowledge" (i.e., amount known), and ranking "skills" (e.g., speaking ability) and `arousal" (e.g., keenness) as less important. Disagreement between the groups was more marked …
Performance of malay and chinese children on vocabulary and operational tasks in two languages
The performance of 143 Malaysian five year old urban children bilingual in Malay and English (75) and Chinese and English (68) on operational tasks in English and their other language was related to their performance on vocabulary and language background. No statistically significant difference between Malay and Chinese groups was found on performance on the operational tasks. The order of acquisition of concepts showed that volume, weight and qu…
Normative, Preferential, and Belief Modes in Adolescent Prejudice
The concept of attitude often subsumes normative, preferential, and belief components; some attitude scales are composed of items exhibiting two or more of these modalities. Beliefs may, in turn, be classified as reports, stereotypes, consequences, and intentions. This article shows that attitude questions in different modes have differing origins and implications, and that it is an error to continue to use an attitude concept and attitude scales…

Concept Acquisition in Malaysian Bilingual Children
Following earlier work with Polish- and German-speaking children in Australia, a group of five-year-old Malaysian children bilingual in English and Malay and English and Chinese were pretested in both languages. They were then trained in one language on the conservation of weight, posttested on their other language, and again from one to two months later in both languages. Immediate improvements were obtained after training, but other untrained c…
The Effect of Language on Concept Acquisition in Bilingual Children
The aim was to determine whether logical concepts acquired in one language could be transferred to another language. Subjects included 35 children bilingual in Polish and English, 31 children bilingual in German and English, and a control group of 34 Australian children, none of whom was able to conserve weight. After pretesting in one language, they were trained in the acquisition of the concept of weight using the other, then posttested in the …
