Abstract

Cross-cultural research has produced a number of problematical cor relations between personality and cultural variables Efforts to explain these correlational relationships have been hampered by the old causality dif ficulty—that association does not yield knowledge of cause. Interpretation of these statistical relationships requires access to other kinds of information. Evidence is gathered here from psychological research to support certain explanations of perceptual illusions, infant growth, and initiation ceremonies. The cross-disciplinary analyses provide a broader empirical base for ac ceptance or rejection of cross-cultural theories.
