中国大学生“个人主义”文化价值观调查——以华中科技大学为例

A Study on Cultural Value of “Individualism” among Chinese College Students: Based on a Survey in Huazhong University of Science and Technology

本研究基于美国文化心理学家Harry C.Triandis的水平和垂直型个人主义-集体主义理论,以问卷的形式调查了华中科技大学142名大学生(M=97,F=45)的个人主义文化价值观持有状况。结果表明,当代大学生具有较强个人主义文化价值观倾向,且水平方向个人主义高于垂直方向个人主义。同时,受试价值观在年级和生源地两个人口统计学特征上有显著差异:新生较二年级学生,来自沿海地区的较来自内地的学生,表现出更高的个人主义倾向。

Based on the American social cultural psychologist Harris C.Triandis’theory of horizontal and vertical individualism and collectivism,this paper investigates the cultural values of individualism of 142 college students(M=97,F=45)in Huazhong University of Science and Technology(HUST).The results show that:Chinese college students do show a clear orientation in individualism,and the horizontal score is higher than the vertical one.Preference in individualism is statistically different in two demographic features:academic grade and source place.Freshmen have a higher preference for individualism than sophomores;and students from the more open and developed coastal areas are more individualism-oriented than students from the inland areas of China.
