Abstract. This study compared the Spanish (Castilian) and French versions of the 16PF5 and of the NEO-PI-R in Spanish and Swiss samples. The five-factor solution for the 16PF5 only seems clear for the Castilian version, but not for the French version. Indeed, the congruence coefficients for the Tough-Mindedness and the Self-Control dimensions are low. On the other hand, the five-factor solutions are highly similar for both countries concerning the NEO-PI-R, and the congruence coefficients are above .95 for all five dimensions. The low cross-cultural replicability for the 16PF5 makes it difficult to analyze the differences at the mean level for this inventory. For the NEO-PI-R, the differences are generally very small and globally account for 2.6% of the total variance. Spaniards seem to have slightly lower scores on Actions and slightly higher scores on Dutifulness. These differences could either be due to translation problems, sample selection, or cultural differences.

Sensation Seeking Scale

In this study the factor structure of the Sensation Seeking Scale Form VI was compared for the Kuwaiti and American subjects. Thrill and adventure seeking Factor, Part II Intention, showed good cross-cultural reliability for men only. The differences between findings of this analysis and that of Zuckerman could be interpreted as evidence of cultural differences between Kuwaiti and American subjects in sensation seeking.

Compared in this study were the locus of control and self-esteem of American Indians ( n = 97) and whites ( n = 128). Contrary to previous research and theory, the two groups did not differ in locus of control as measured by the Intellectual Achievement Responsibility Questionnaire. However, they did differ in self-esteem as measured by the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory. The whites reported a significantly more positive view of the self than did the Indians.

The Difference

This study compared locus of control scores of three samples: 42 boys residing in an orphanage in Mexico, 30 Mexican-American boys, and 30 Anglo-American boys living in a small city in northern California. The mean age of all three groups was 13.0 yr. The Mexican boys were expected to show a more external orientation than the other two groups. The hypothesis was only partially supported, with the difference between the Mexican and Mexican-American subjects statistically significant The former group was more externally oriented. The discussion focused on the effect of life circumstances on locus of control and on parental antecedents, specifically in the area of parental control.

In the first stage of investigating how children perceive and conceptualize spatial figures, Geeslin and Shar (1979) developed procedures for making objective comparisons of two-dimensional figures. Piaget and lnhelder (1967, 1971) claimed that the cognitive structures of children allow them to operate on the topological properties of figures prior to being able to conceptualize Euclidean properties. However, Geeslin and Shar (1979) found no indication of spatial developmental differences on a perceptual task among American children in the nursery school through fourth-grade levels (ages 3 years and up, N = 345). Although a variety of plausible reasons for these apparently contradictory findings can be put forth, the investigation reported here pursued the possibility of cultural differences between American and Swiss children.
