Area Of Science
- Social Sciences
- Cross-cultural Psychology
- Sociology of Work
Background
- Understanding the value preferences of creative workers is crucial for talent management and policy-making.
- Existing research often overlooks the nuanced value systems beyond general tolerance.
- Cross-cultural comparisons are vital for a comprehensive view of global creative workforces.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate value preferences of creative workers in China and the U.S.
- To compare how these preferences, including tolerance, differ across countries and occupation categories.
- To explore the relationship between creativity levels and value-based differences.
Main Methods
- Utilized World Values Survey (WVS 7) data from China (1968 observations) and the U.S. (1076 observations).
- Employed Structure Equation Modelling (SEM) and Multinomial Logit Model (MLM) for micro-level analysis.
- Analyzed value preferences related to tolerance, responsibility, technology, work style, political actions, and happiness.
Main Results
- Chinese creative workers demonstrated balanced tolerance (migrants, religions, homosexuality); U.S. workers showed tolerance primarily for homosexuality.
- U.S. workers preferred responsibility, technology, work style, and political actions; Chinese workers preferred happiness and political actions.
- Higher creativity levels amplified cross-cultural differences in understanding tolerance between China and the U.S.
Conclusions
- Creative workers' value preferences are complex and culturally influenced, extending beyond simple tolerance.
- Findings challenge the notion of a universally 'selected milieu' for creative talent, revealing blended value systems.
- The study offers an unconventional perspective on reconciling theoretical ideals with the reality of diverse creative worker values.

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Surveys allow researchers to gather data from larger samples than may be afforded by...
Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories emphasize the potential for self-realization and the importance of addressing social and cultural, rather than biological, factors in personality development. She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.
A group that we don’t belong to, an out-group, is a group that we view as fundamentally different from us. For example, if you are female, your gender in-group includes all females, and your gender out-group...
