- Title
CHILDREN'S GUILT AFTER TRANSGRESSION: COMBINED EFFECT OF EXPOSURE TO AMERICAN CULTURE AND ETHNIC BACKGROUND.
- Authors
McMichael, Robert E.; Grinder, Robert E.
- Abstract
Samples of Japanese-, Hawaiian-, and White-American children from three community settings are compared on assessed guilt after transgression. The American culture has dominated each community to a different degree. The results for strength of guilt indicate a decreasing assimilation to American standards of conduct as one goes from relatively great to lesser degrees of community dominance by American culture. Correlations among 3 measures of guilt suggest that the way guilt is expressed also varies with ethnic background and degree of exposure to American culture. As in 2 previous crosscultural studies, no general sex differences were found in strength of depicted guilt.
