Abstract:
The AVA was administered to 2 comparable samples of university students, one German and one American. Both groups of Ss were asked to respond to instructions which were designed to elicit, separately, a measure of the ideal self-concept and a measure of the ideal-person perception. The data yielded 2 correlated clusters of profiles, one for each of the two concepts, for both samples. Differences, however, existed between the congruence and compatibility values of the American and German samples. These differences suggest that in conducting cross-cultural studies, careful attention should be given to the wording of the instructions when measuring the ideal self-concept.
