Abstract

Two groups of 25 Japanese male undergraduates with good and poor social adjustment as determined by a questionnaire freely placed figures of a father, a mother, a son, and a daughter on a field. The combined groups placed the son closer to the mother than to the father (p<.01). The results were in contrast to those from an American sample, and indicate that familial schemata are influenced by cultural differences in family structure.
