Critical incidents adapted to presentation in picture form were used to investigate responses of Aboriginal adolescents from Elcho Island mission in the Northern Territory of Australia in conflict situations arising from culture contact. These Aboriginal youths are part of a complex environment where choice behaviour is mediated by specific and broader situational characteristics of the social environment. Results showed a relationship between conflict responses and orientation to traditional values and skills, but no apparent relationship between conflict responses and modern value orientation or psychopathology variables. Adolescents who attended high school in Darwin were seen as more mission and academically oriented than locally educated youth. Contary to expected patterns, males appeared to be less involved in both mission and traditional activities and more restricted by traditional social expectations than were females.
采用以图片形式呈现的关键事件来调查澳大利亚北领地埃尔乔岛传教区的原住民青少年在因文化接触而产生的冲突情境中的反应。这些原住民青年处于一个复杂的环境中，在这个环境中，选择行为由社会环境的特定和更广泛的情境特征所调节。结果表明，冲突反应与对传统价值观和技能的取向之间存在关联，但冲突反应与现代价值取向或精神病理学变量之间没有明显关联。在达尔文上高中的青少年比在当地接受教育的青少年更具传教和学术导向性。与预期模式相反，男性似乎比女性更少参与传教和传统活动，并且受到传统社会期望的限制更大。
