Abstract

Recent longitudinal research by others analyzing the relation between racial-ethnic diversity and individualism-collectivism in the 50 American states over the period 2000-2018 suggests that racial-ethnic diversity promotes individualism. The present study used a cross-sectional approach based on 2013 data to determine whether a relation mirroring the longitudinal pattern exists between racial-ethnic diversity and individualism-collectivism across the 50 states. Two measures of state racial-ethnic diversity were related to four measures of state individualism-collectivism using Pearson correlation and partial correlation controlling for state socioeconomic status. All correlations between diversity and individualism were negative and all those between diversity and collectivism were positive. The absolute magnitudes ranged from .43 to .68 for the Pearson correlations and from .43 to .67 for the partial correlations. Contrary to the earlier longitudinal findings, the current results show that states with higher racial-ethnic diversity are less individualistic and more collectivistic.

多样性会促进个人主义吗？美国 50 个州的种族-民族多样性与个人主义-集体主义的关系。

最近有学者对 2000-2018 年间美国 50 个州的种族-民族多样性与个人主义-集体主义之间的关系进行了纵向研究分析，结果表明种族-民族多样性会促进个人主义。本研究采用基于 2013 年数据的横截面方法，以确定 50 个州的种族-民族多样性与个人主义-集体主义之间是否存在反映纵向模式的关系。利用皮尔逊相关性和部分相关性（控制各州的社会经济地位），将各州种族-民族多样性的两个测量指标与各州个人主义-集体主义的四个测量指标联系起来。多样性与个人主义之间的相关性全部为负，多样性与集体主义之间的相关性全部为正。皮尔逊相关性的绝对值从 0.43 到 0.68 不等，部分相关性的绝对值从 0.43 到 0.67 不等。与之前的纵向研究结果相反，目前的研究结果表明，种族-民族多样性较高的州个人主义程度较低，集体主义程度较高。

期刊介绍： Since John Dewey and Carl Murchison founded it in 1929, The Journal of Social Psychology has published original empirical research in all areas of basic and applied social psychology. Most articles report laboratory or field research in core areas of social and organizational psychology including the self, attribution theory, attitudes, social influence, consumer behavior, decision making, groups and teams, sterotypes and discrimination, interpersonal attraction, prosocial behavior, aggression, organizational behavior, leadership, and cross-cultural studies. Academic experts review all articles to ensure that they meet high standards.
