Individualism/ Cooperation/ Altruism/ Competition/ Equalitarianism/ Martyrdom/ Aggression/ Sadomasochism/ Masochism/ 9 social motive components Cross cultural differences The figures above are shown and explained in the theoretical paper: "IF-THEN METHOD - International version"by Takashi Teraoka, Ph.D.   from Komazawa Report of Psychology, No.14, 1994/ Tokyo, Japan Takashi Teraoka, Ph.D.

• IF-THEN method:

  Derived 9 social motivations are based on the theoretical structure analysis of the 2x2 payoff matrices (symmetrical, 2 person). The paper cited above describes the method, but all you do is to use the program that processes your data.
  IF-THEN Method, once programmed by FORTRAN and BASIC by T.Teraoka , Ph.D., has been converted into EXE file through VisualBasic (ver.6) by T.Kasai. You can analyze your data and obtain the result at once at your desk by using the program under Windows 95/98 environment.
  

  
  

• Teraoka-Test:

  Teraoka's (social motive) Test consists of 32 alternative questions. The instruction papers and the questionnaire have been translated into 24 languages. If you carry out the questionnaire investigations in your country and send the data to us, we can analyze your data and send back the results to you for your research papers. 

IF-THEN method renders the percentage of each motive component. Cross cultural comparisons have yielded interesting results concerning the distribution patterns of the 9 social motive components among several counties.

Please join the cross-cultural studies by accumulating your data on the data base, and publish your reports about the characteristics of your subject groups or your cultural regions.
