Cultural Differences in Individualism? Just Artifact.

Kagan, Spencer; Zahn, G. Lawrence

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v5 n2 p219-32 Jun 1983

To test possible cultural differences in strength of individualistic motivation and explore reliability of different individualism measures, two individualism measures were administered to 476 Anglo American, 156 Mexican American, and 101 Black children, aged six to 12. Results indicated age but not cultural differences in strength of individualistic motivation. (Author/MH)
