| Abstract: | The relationship between a person's perception of others and how many acquaintances he thinks he has is analyzed with data from a quota sample of 978 respondents in Hong Kong and 94 in China. Respondents in Hong Kong perceive one another as not trustworthy, selfish and unfair, much as in Japan, but this is not the case for China, nor for the U.S. It is competitiveness rather than culture that seems to account for this. People who don't trust one another tend not to perceive themselves as having many acquaintances. |
