Display-control relationships for Chinese subjects using three controls

Display-control stereotypes for direction of motion were tested using a paper-and-pencil test. Seven hundred and eight-three Yunnan Province Chinese subjects of both sexes from a wide range of ages and backgrounds were asked to indicate the control movement they would make to move a display dot in a given direction. Three types of controls and three different planes for the controls were used. The results indicated that although there were some similarities between Western and Chinese stereotypes, the Chinese exhibited stereotypes not generally found in Western subjects.
