It appears that American Indians probably exhibit some pivotal and core features of psychological structure in common, and that these core features function differently in variant tribal and areal cultures. The combina tion of these features in the basic personality structure of each society appears to exhibit considerable stability through time, and apparently selectively limits effective choices of new cultural alternatives as long as it continues to function. By reversing the relationship between culture change and psychological structure, we can see that several distinct types of personality emerge, representing various combinations of experience, needs, and results of experience. These types are cast somewhat differently in the framework of male and female roles in culture change
