Personality Differences among Blacks in Jamaica and the United States.

Jones, Enrico E.; Zoppel, Christina L.

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v10 n4 p435-56 Dec 1979

Personality differences among Jamaican and American Black populations of varying socioeconomic backgrounds were investigated using several personality assessment instruments. Differences in personality traits and social constructs were found to be consistent with those that might be predicted between members of a more traditional society and those of a modern nation.
