2. Elements of Diversity Value Orientation Model (Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck, 1961) Euro-American culture in the United States: – future oriented, focused on doing, emphasizes individualism, aspires to be dominant over nature, – believes that human nature is mixed, some people are good and some are bad (e.g., Carter, 1990). –Value activity, doing, hierarchical relationships Native cultures: –past oriented, focused on being, emphasize collateral (group) relations, aspire to be in harmony with nature –believe that people are fundamentally good

3. Elements of Diversity Locus of Control (Rotter, 1966) Most common groups with high INTERNAL locus of control (Caucasian, Chinese) have: More attempts at mastering environment Better coping and cognitive processing Lower anxiety, higher motivation External locus of control more common in minority, females, low SES - “It’s no use trying…”

4. What happens when we add responsibility as a factor? Internal Control and Responsibility –Assertive/passive: I’m Ok and society is OK- I can make it External Control and Internal Responsibility (Marginal/passive) –I’m OK but control comes from being like dominant culture - it’s up to me External Control and Responsibility –Passive/aggressive: I’m not Ok, I might as well give up. Society is the reason for my problems Internal Control and External Responsibility –I’m OK but need a chance - society is not good and I need to change it

5. Other factors to consider when discussing control and responsibility Racial pride and identity –Most likely to be accepted by IC-ER –Redefining self and group in positive light –View many current issues as rising from racism How might these concepts and worldviews be expressed in children? Is there a certain direction that we would encourage them to think in?
