 note = {In this report I compare aspects of Italian adolescent personality
with that found in Japan and in the U. S. Basic data
for these comparisons consist of responses to the Sentence
Completion Test (KSCT-G, compiled by Y. Kataguchi et al.
1964). (See Tab. 1,2)
The Italian data were collected in the field in 1974 by
Yutaka Tani from 284 ninth-grade students in the city of Teramo,
the town of Montorio, and the village of Ouercino-all in the
Abruzzo district of central Italy. The Japanese and U. S. data
were collected by me in 1965-67 (See Tab. 3). The Japan
sample (N=153) includes students from a mountain village in
Yamanashi prefecture as well as from the city of Tokyo. The
U. S. sample (N=155) is urban, but includes both upper middle
class whites and ghetto-area blacks.
In this comparative perspective the Italian adolescents exhibit
the following characteristics :
1) A strongly positive attitude both towards father and
towards mother. Some sentimental dependency upon the
mother also is characteristic. (See Tab. 4 and 5. Note that in
these tables P=positive, Nu=neutral, Na=negative-active ,
and Np=negative-passive types of attitudes. Negative-active
attitudes are, put differently, tendencies towards aggression;
negative-passive ones towards avoidance.)
2) The Italians are less sociable towards strangers than are
Americans but more so than are Japanese (Tab. 6).
3) Males tend to be very positive towards heterosexual relationships, females tend to be negative-passive (Tab. 7).
Although the difference between Italian and American groups
is not statistically significant, the Italian males show a distinct
pattern of "flattery" towards females.
4) Strongly positive reactions towards people in authority
(Tab. 8).
5) Extremely strong negative-active reactions when "people
laugh at them" (Tab. 9). This probably can be connected with
a strong sense of honor.
6) Very strong negative-passive (i.e. depressive) feelings
when they "feel that people do not like them" (Tab. 10), when
"people ignore them" (Tab . 11), or when "criticized by others"
(Tab. 12).
7) Among Japanese, intrapunitive feelings dominate in
cases of failure, but this is unusually weak among Italians (Tab.
13)—e.g. "I was wrong," "I was not competent enough,"—
"I am the one responsible" etc .
8) Responses to "My greatest desire is..." and "What I
need most..." indicate very strong concern with heterosexual
relationships. There also are indications of the importance of
family (Tab. 14, 15).
9) Italian attitudes towards authority and honor appear
to be promising topics for further investigation, and should be
examined in conjunction with Japanese patterns of reciprocity,
shame, and giri (sense of obligation). An analysis of the "indiindividualistic"
aspect of Italian attitudes also is desirable.},
