| Abstract: | A central task of cross-cultural psychology is to compare conceptualizations underlying social institutions. This study introduces new methodology for the comparison of aboriginal and Western conceptions of ownership and property. Matched samples of Cree and English-Canadian adults reported on the meanings of 25 verbs of ownership and possession. The psycholinguistic methods of semantic similarity judgment were free recall, card sort, unidimensional scaling, and hypothetical explanation to a child. |
