“…Variation across colleges is seen in findings that U.S. students in our sample engaged in fewer interactions per day (4.0) than the University of Rochester sample (6.9) assessed by Wheeler et al (1989), an effect that on first look might be attributable to differences on ecologies of small-and medium-sized colleges. Hom and Haidt (2003), however, reported that the rates of interaction of University of Virginia students were very similar to those of the Illinois Wesleyan students. We do not know what aspects of college environments are responsible for this variation.…”

The friendships of college students in the United States (n= 61), Indonesia (n= 56), and South Korea (n= 35) were assessed to evaluate the H. C. Triandis, R. Bontempo, M. J. Villareal, M. Asai, and N. Lucca (1988) hypothesis that the friendships of individuals in collectivist cultures are more intimate and less extensive than those in individualistic cultures. Students rated the qualities of their friendships, reported the identity and characteristics of friends, and recorded details of their social interactions using the Rochester Interaction Inventory. The friendship characteristics of South Korean students were generally consistent with the H. C. Triandis et al. (1988) hypotheses, whereas those of the Indonesian students were not. It appears that friendships in some collectivist cultures, including Indonesia, display characteristics of extensive social contacts with others in conjunction with limited intimacy with specific individuals.
