Cultural psychologists have noted that some aspects of personality differ across cultural groups. For example, Americans and Asians have slightly different conceptions of self. American culture promotes a view of the self as independent. American children tend to describe themselves in terms of personal attributes, values, and achievements, and they learn to be self-reliant, to compete with others, and to value their uniqueness. Many Asian cultures, such as those of Japan and China, promote a view of the self as interdependent. Children from these cultures tend to describe themselves in terms of which groups they belong to. They learn to rely on others, to be modest about achievements, and to fit into groups. Researchers believe that culture influences aggressiveness in males. In places where there are plentiful resources and no serious threats to survival, such as Tahiti or Sudest Island near New Guinea, males are not socialized to be aggressive. Culture also influences altruism. Research shows that children tend to offer support or unselfish suggestions more frequently in cultures where they are expected to help with chores such as food preparation and caring for younger siblings. 2. Break the Ice The primary goal for an icebreaker or a getting acquainted exercise is the development of an environment which is anxiety-reducing and which allows individuals to "break the ice" or get acquainted by having fun. Icebreakers are intended to be tension-reducing rather than providing encounters on a direct interaction basis. Icebreaker exercises should be used with any group that appears to be extremely anxious in the initial stage of development (i.e., the first meeting of clubs, program boards, etc). Icebreakers should not be used to avoid dealing with anxiety but rather to provide a less threatening environment. A nonthreatening environment initiated at the beginning of development may make way for more meaningful interaction and relationships during the life of the group. Here are some things to remember about icebreakers and getting acquainted exercises. 1. They can be excellent devices to help people feel more comfortable with themselves and with others and feel more "at home" in a group. 2. They break up the "cliques," invite people to form random groupings, and help individuals meet others in nonthreatening and fun ways. 3. They can be used to set a tone for the time a group will be together, will encourage people to feel "safe" and hopefully will evoke lots of laughter in releasing tension. V.

(4) Material of vase: metal/plastic/wood - you are strong in your life glass/clay/porcelain - you are weak in your life and tend to be fragile (5) Keys: 1 - you have one good friend in your life 2 to 5 - you have a few good friends in your life 6 to 10 - you have a lot good friends (6) Castle: Old - shows that your last relationship is not a good one and is not memorable to you. New - your last relationship is good and it’s still fresh in your heart. (7) The size of the box: small - low ego medium - average ego big - high ego (8) Material of the box (outlook of the box): cardboard/paper/wooden(non-shining) – humble personality metal - proud and stuck up personality (9) The material of the bridge: metal bridge - have very strong bond with your friends wooden bridge - average bond with your friends rattan bridge - you are not in good terms with your friends (10) Color of the horse: white - your partner is pure and good in your heart. grey/brown - your partner is only average in your heart. black - your partner doesn’t seem to be good in your heart and appears to be bad sign. （11）This the last but most important part of the test.
