Correction information
Date of correction: February 24, 2009 Reason for correction: - Correction: ABSTRACT Details: Wrong : Japanese (40 males and 40 females) and American (40 males and 40 females) college students rated each of the 10 Rorschach inkblots on 21 Semantic Dif-ferential rating scales. This study was chiefly designed to compare the ratings of two groups of Japanese Ss with those of two groups of American Ss. It was found that the cross-cultural comparison resulted in a greater number of signi-ficant differences in the distributions of ratings on the Rorschach stimuli. Fur-thermore these results suggested that comparisons of the rating style between Japa-nese and American college students should provide interesting insights into the personality differences which differentiate these two cultural groups.
