Abstract
A sample of 96 Australian-Japanese dyads drawn from the Australian subsidiaries of Japanese corporations were asked for their own attitude, their estimation of their partner's attitude and their conception of the attitude of the average member of their partner's national group regarding 26 work-related items. Using discriminant analysis, it is shown that even along a dimension of maximum cultural distance there is a clear tendency for subjects to project their own views onto their partner. The estimation of one's partner's attitudes is also shown to relate significantly to the stereotype held of one's partner's national group. These findings are discussed in relation to the assimilation-contrast hypothesis.
