Abstract

AbstractThis article uses several different instruments to survey students in Hawaii, representing both Asian and US origins. The results indicate that acceptance of technology correlates most directly with gender, father’s education, and area of national/cultural origin, in contrast with measures of interest in media, acceptance of newness and new people, and concern about public issues. These results suggest that old conceptions concerning what drives the growth of technology are flawed, and that we must include attention to belief systems or mindscapes. Doing so leads us to adopt a cyclic epistemology, described by Maruyama and discussed as the dialectic by Hegel, as a better way of understanding how technology is appropriated in response to needs.

文化态度与技术

摘要本文使用几种不同的工具来调查夏威夷的学生，他们分别代表亚洲和美国的血统。结果表明，与对媒体的兴趣、对新鲜事物和新人的接受程度以及对公共问题的关注程度相比，对技术的接受程度与性别、父亲的教育程度和民族/文化起源地区的关系最为直接。这些结果表明，关于推动技术发展的因素的旧观念是有缺陷的，我们必须关注信仰体系或思维模式。这样做会导致我们采用循环认识论，Maruyama将其描述为黑格尔的辩证法，作为更好地理解技术如何适应需求的方法。
