The 'psychological model' of organizational commitment has been widely investigated with respect to U.S. workers, but less frequently applied in cross-cultural studies. Results from a survey of 7,000 Japanese and U.S. production workers, reported here, indicated that the Japanese respondents expressed lower levels of organizational commitment than U.S. respondents. The variance explained in commitment by so-called 'Japanese management system' variables — organization structure and context, perceived job characteristics and personal practices — was also lower for Japanese respondents than for U.S. respondents. Implications for current models of commitment are considered; a new heuristic for studying commitment is pro posed.

Abstract Tomasello argues in the target article that, in generalizing the concrete obligations originating from interdependent collaboration to one's entire cultural group, humans become “ultra-cooperators.” But are all human populations cooperative in similar ways? Based on cross-cultural studies and my own fieldwork in Polynesia, I argue that cooperation varies along several dimensions, and that the underlying sense of obligation is culturally modulated.

Summary: This paper presents the results obtained in Spain with The Interpersonal Adjective Scales of J.S. Wiggins (1995) concerning the variables' structure. There are two Spanish versions of IAS, developed by two independent research groups who were not aware of each other's work. One of these versions was published as an assessment test in 1996. Results from the other group have remained unpublished to date. The set of results presented here compares three sources of data: the original American manual (from Wiggins and collaborators), the Spanish manual (already published), and the new IAS (our own research). Results can be considered satisfactory since, broadly speaking, the inner structure of the original instrument is well replicated in the Spanish version.

Three cross-cultural studies of subjective culture.

Cross Cultural Studies

We discuss four methodological issues regarding cross-cultural judgment studies of facial expressions of emotion involving design, sampling, stimuli, and dependent variables. We use examples of relatively recent studies in this area to highlight and discuss these issues. We contend that careful consideration of these, and other, cross-cultural methodological issues can help researchers minimize methodological errors, and can guide the field to address new and different research questions that can continue to facilitate an evolution in the field’s thinking about the nature of culture, emotion, and facial expressions.
