4028.68 Cross-cultural differences in intergroup versus intragroup orientations, Masaki Yuki 1 ,
William W. Maddux 2 , 1 Hokkaido University, Japan; 2 The Ohio State University, USA
Yuki’s (2003) recent framework posits that people from Western cultures such as the U.S. have a
stronger tendency to emphasize categorical distinctions between ingroups and outgroups, whereas
East Asians, such as Japanese, have a stronger tendency to emphasize the structure of
interrelationships within groups. Two cross-cultural studies showed that, as predicted, American
university students were more strongly interested in getting to know relative status of their
ingroups in comparison to outgroups, than in the structure of interrelatedness among ingroup
members. Japanese participants showed the opposite tendency.
4028.69 From a self-esteem perspective to study face, Yinan Wang, Zhongfang Yang, Sun
Yat-Sen University, China
In the paper, the authors introduced a model with the threatened egotism as the key point to try to
explain the behaviors and emotion about face (Mianzi). According to the model, the authors
agreed with some researchers (Heine, Kitayama& Markus, 1999) who argued that easterners
desire for face is comparable to the westerners desire for positive self-regard but disagreed with
their opinion that easterners and westerners were self-critical and self-enhanced respectively but
the different contents of threatened egotism influenced with culture.
4028.70 The development and its scientfic view of indiginization of Chinese psychology, Zhao
Zhongyu, China
The indiginization of Psychology comes into being due to the defect of research pattern of
positivist Psychology and the impact of cultural anthoropology. Chinese Psychology has made a
kind of progress, but generally speaking, it still seems disorderly and lacks regularity, the focus is
about the issue of the scientfic view of Psychology. The course of indiginization is also the course
of scientficization at the same time, and the scientficization should be achieved through
indiginization.
4028.71 The analysis of the deep psychological structure of national culture for adolescents,
Zhao Junhua, Zhang Dajun, Southwest Normal University, Chongqing, China
The deep psychological structure of national culture has great influence upon adolescents’
achievement and personality development. It is the components of its structure and
interrelationship that give the key to understand the related problems. Depending on the opening
questionnaire survey, 4500 university and middle school students from 5 areas in China
participated in the test and retest. The data analysed in exploratory and confirmatory factor
analysis indicated that the deep psychological structure of national culture for adolescents is a
holographic and multi-dimensional structure varying from the value orientation, the emotion and
will manner to the thinking and action manner.
