Abstract
A series of studies has already been published in Chinese on the relationship between social orientation and individual modernity among Chinese students in Taiwan. This paper first reviews these studies briefly and then reports another piece of research in the series, using 92 male and female students at the National Taiwan University. Forty-six high and 46 low scorers on individual modernity were administered the Rorschach Test. More modernized students were found to have a larger total number of responses and a smaller number of popular responses. They were also found to use a shorter time to produce the first and subsequent responses. The findings in this and previous studies were interpreted as supportive of a negative covariation between social orientation and individual modernity.Keywords
