welfare of clients. Estonians have suffered over centuries from foreign occupying forces. Estonian
psychologists are in tune with silent and secretive clients who have learned that survival is more
important than self-expression. Psychologists will need to find local ways to support universal
values.
4001.6 Personal integration in Korean culture and ethical attitude of Korean counseling
psychologists, H.R. Choi, Sogang University, Seoul, South Korea
The paper provides a brief description of moral and ethical foundations of east and west by
comparing some characteristics of individualism and collectivism. It also examines ethical
pressures or conflicts that Korean counselors and psychotherapists experience in changing Korean
culture. They are expected to be integrated or virtuous and at the same time to be right-seeking
persons. Some of the results of the author's earlier study on ethical attitudes of Korean counseling
psychologists (Haerim Choi, 2002) are discussed in light of Korean culture.

4002.1 The “Neo-Galtonian” approach to psychological investigation: How it was supposed to
work, and why it does not, J. Lamiell, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA
Following the influx of statistical techniques into psychological research circa 1900, the original
Wundtian approach to experimentation was supplanted by a “neo-Galtonian” framework
(Danziger, 1997), in which correlational methods developed by Galton and Pearson were adapted
to the problem of comparing treatment group means. As a framework for psychological research,
this “neo-Galtonian” approach requires for its conceptual integrity the assumption that aggregate
statistical patterns entitle inferences about individual level phenomena. In this presentation, the
author will discuss how neo-Galtonian inquiry is supposed to work, explain why it fails, and call
for a “neo-Wundtian” re-conceptualization of psychological research.
4002.2 Historically Structured Sampling (HSS) model: A contribution from cultural psychology,
T. Sato, Y. Yasuda, A. Kido, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan
The historical nature of psychological phenomena-- complex, cultural, dynamic-- needs to be
accepted in psychology. New area, cultural psychology, provides a new look at sampling. Given
the historical nature of phenomena, the usual way --random sampling, cannot be the exclusive
procedure. The importance of the selection of individual cases for the study through consideration
of their historical trajectories moving through a common temporary state (equifinality point) will
be shown. Historically Structured Sampling (HSS) model will be applied to some themes such ad
an onset of body decoration in female high school students and decision making of an infertility
treatment.
