Summary
In this first introductory chapter, we discussed the field of cross-cultural psychology and noted some issues and problems associated with research in this area. We reviewed previous cross-cultural studies by Osgood, Hofstede, and Schwartz and noted their relationship to the present investigation. The Adjective Check List (ACL) method was described, as were the variety of available scoring systems. Also out-lined were summaries of the results of earlier cross-cultural studies that employed the method in the study of gender stereotypes, self-concepts, and age stereotypes.
