“…He is an independent thinker; however, he has the flexibility to see the other man's point of view. I t is the pattern which figured predominantly in a previous crosscultural study on the public image of Johnson and Kosygin (Merenda, et al, 1968).

56 faculty members of an Iranian university were asked for their perceptions of the public image of the Reza Shah, the Great, and of President Johnson. The instrument used in obtaining these public image profiles was the Activity Vector Analysis (AVA). Findings showed a very tight cluster around AVA “Administrative Pattern” for perceptions of the Reza Shah and a less tight cluster about the same reference pattern for perceptions of President Johnson in terms of profile shape. Differences in profile scatter and elevation, however, were noted. As expected the Iranian nationals yielded significantly higher scatter and elevation scores in their perceptions of the Shah.

Using the AVA, 34 Indian students were asked to give their perceptions of Richard Nixon and of Hubert Humphrey in October, 1968, and again in January, 1969. Four identical clusters were found for each condition: N-H (pre), N-H (post), N-N, and H-H, all centered around AVA Pattern 9713 (Administrative Pattern). However, the average interprofile correlations for these four conditions showed statistically significant differences, suggesting the outcome of the election influenced Ss' public image of the candidates.

The Activity Vector Analysis (AVA) was administered to samples drawn from a population of graduate students in psychology at an Indian university, with instructions that would elicit Ss' public image perceptions of 8 internationally known personalities. Three clusters of profiles were noted. One included Kosygin, Mao, and Wallace, another one included De Gaulle and Wilson, and still another, included Hussein, I. Ghandhi, and Radhakrishnah, the great Indian philosopher.
