Recent longitudinal research by others analyzing the relation between racial-ethnic diversity and individualism-collectivism in the 50 American states over the period 2000-2018 suggests that racial-ethnic diversity promotes individualism. The present study used a cross-sectional approach based on 2013 data to determine whether a relation mirroring the longitudinal pattern exists between racial-ethnic diversity and individualism-collectivism across the 50 states. Two measures of state racial-ethnic diversity were related to four measures of state individualism-collectivism using Pearson correlation and partial correlation controlling for state socioeconomic status. All correlations between diversity and individualism were negative and all those between diversity and collectivism were positive. The absolute magnitudes ranged from .43 to .68 for the Pearson correlations and from .43 to .67 for the partial correlations. Contrary to the earlier longitudinal findings, the current results show that states with higher racial-ethnic diversity are individualistic and collectivistic.
最近，其他人进行的一项纵向研究分析了 2000 年至 2018 年间美国 50 个州的种族多样性与个人主义-集体主义之间的关系，结果表明种族多样性促进了个人主义。本研究采用横断面方法，基于 2013 年的数据，确定在 50 个州中，种族多样性与个人主义-集体主义之间是否存在类似于纵向模式的关系。使用皮尔逊相关和偏相关，控制州的社会经济地位，将两个州的种族多样性衡量标准与四个州的个人主义-集体主义衡量标准相关联。多样性与个人主义之间的所有相关性均为负相关，多样性与集体主义之间的所有相关性均为正相关。皮尔逊相关的绝对值范围为.43 到.68，偏相关的绝对值范围为.43 到.67。与早期的纵向研究结果相反，目前的研究结果表明，种族多样性较高的州更加个人主义和集体主义。
