“…For instance, when asked to recall times in their lives when they influenced or adjusted to others, American college students were better able to recall times when they influenced others than were Japanese college students, whereas Japanese college students were better able to recall times when they adjusted to others than were American college students (Morling et al, 2002). On average, European Americans report influencing their circumstances more and adjusting to their circumstances less than their East Asian counterparts (e.g., Morris, 1956;Morris & Jones, 1955;Parsons & Schneider, 1974).…”

Previous studies have found that in American culture high-arousal positive states (HAP) such as excitement are valued more and low-arousal positive states (LAP) such as calm are valued less than they are in Chinese culture. What specific factors account for these differences? The authors predicted that when people and cultures aimed to influence others (i.e., assert personal needs and change others' behaviors to meet those needs), they would value HAP more and LAP less than when they aimed to adjust to others (i.e., suppress personal needs and change their own behaviors to meet others' needs). They test these predictions in 1 survey and 3 experimental studies. The findings suggest that within and across American and Chinese contexts, differences in ideal affect are due to specific interpersonal goals.

“…Because of the different focus these latter studies will not be further discussed here. In his approach to the study of human values, Morris (1956) and Morris and Jones (1955) distinguished 13 'Ways to live' on which ratings were obtained in different countries. Those ratings were factor-analysed, resulting in five value factors (see Table 1).…”

Following the psycholexical approach, several thousands of potential value descriptors were selected from the Dutch lexicon. This set was subsequently reduced according to criteria of relevance to a list of 641 values. The value list was administered to 634 participants (self‐ and other‐raters), who had to indicate the extent to which each value was a guiding principle in the life of the target. Principal component analyses were performed yielding eight factors of values. In addition, ratings were collected on markers of three other systems of values, including the one described by Schwartz (1992). Finally, A Big Five questionnaire, the FFPI, was administered. Correlation and regression analyses were performed to describe the relations between the different value systems, and between the Dutch value system and the Big Five factors.

“…A third source, particularly useful for expanding our list of value-type domains, was previously published lists of values, including proposals by Rokeach (1973), White (1944), Allport and Vernon (1931), Morris (1955), Dodd (1951), Lepley (1957, and Kluckhohn (1953).…”

Developing measures of perceived life quality: Results from several national surveys

1974

A~'n~cr. This report presents the current status of a series of studies oriented toward the assessment of perceived life quality. The conceptual model proposes that a person's overall sense of life quality is understandable as a combination of affective responses to life 'domains', which are of two types-role situations and values. Over 100 items used to measure a wide variety of domains and 28 items assessing perceived overall life quality are presented. Various subsets of these items were used in interviews with several representative samples of American adults. Based on these data the domain items were grouped into a smaller number of semi-independent clusters which were internally stable across 10 different subgroups of the respondents and whose interrelationships were highly replicable in independent national samples. A series of analyses, some replicated in more than one survey showed: (1) an additive combination of 12 selected domains explained 50-60 ~ of the variance in an index of overall life quality, (2) neither other domains nor several social characteristic variables contributed additional explanatory power, (3) this level of explanation was achieved in each of 22 subgroups of the population, and (4) additive combinations of domains worked as well as more complicated combinations. We are embarked on a major effort to develop measures of perceived life quality. The effort is part of the larger movement within the United States and a number of other countries to develop an expanded set of social indicators which can be monitored over time. It is hoped that through the generation and analysis of data from such indicators improvements can result in our understanding of the causes and directions of social changes, and in policymaking oriented toward efforts to improve the quality of life. Social indicators can be classified into two broad types: (1) those based on reports about experiences and characteristics of the reporter's own personal life, and (2) those based on reports of events or situations which are not part of the reporter's own life. Sometimes these two types of indicators have been referred to as 'subjective' and 'objective' respectively, though it can be argued that certain experiential measures are at least as objective as many of the so-called 'objective' measures. Examples of the first class of social indicators would include reports by respondents of their sense of safety when they go out alone at night, or their sense of satis
