Performance of Eastern- and Western-Oriented College Students on the Value Survey and Ways of Life Scale

Abstract

The Value Survey, Ways of Life Scale, and East-West Questionnaire were administered to 210 students in introductory psychology to determine the value and life style preferences of Eastern- and Western-oriented individuals. The findings were, in general, consonant with the assumptions underlying the design of the East-West Questionnaire. Sex differences, however, indicate that Eastern and Western male and female subjects have somewhat different value and life style preferences.
