The goal of this study is to examine Korean adolescents perception of trust and distrust of their
parents, teacher, and friends using the indigenous psychological analysis. A total of 600 high
school students participated in the study. Adolescents trust their parents because of parental
sacrifice and blood relationship. They trust teachers because they are teachers, and they show
affection and concern for them. For friends: they are reliable, because they are my friends, and
they understand me. The reasons for distrusting father are as follows: I cannot respect him and he
does not trust me.
3026.5 Effect of disability on parent child interaction and child rearing practice in Bangladesh,
M.N. Haq, H. Murshida, University of Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Child rearing practice in family varies with the kids’ developmental nature. Children with special
needs receive substantial care but fail to draw necessary attention required for their ultimate
development. This study looked into the caring pattern of children in family whether having any
disability or not. Significant difference is observed in care giving nature between the children
having disability and without disability. Parents spend more time, energy and money for the
development of their non-disabled children. Parental attitude toward development and prospect of
children was also found more favourable in case of non-disabled children than the disabled ones.

(bicultural individuals) represent cultures? In the research conducted in my laboratory, we have
examined how Asian-American bicultural individuals represent Asian and American cultures
cognitively and emotionally. Both qualitative methodologies, such as structured interviews, and
quantitative methodologies, such as priming experiments, have been used in our studies.
Consistently, the findings revealed two processes: One related to cultural knowledge acquisition,
and the other related to social identity affirmation.
3027.2 One basket or two? Cognitive organization as a function of social context, L.A.
Mallorie, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL, USA
Bicultural individuals may store knowledge acquired from two cultures in one single, or two
separate, cognitive baskets. What might predict individual differences and situational variations in
such individuals’ storage strategies? I propose a dynamic model of cognitive process by which
multicultural individuals organize and navigate available cultural knowledge systems. According
to this model, the likelihood that bicultural people will store cultural knowledge in one or two
