Abstract

Conducted a field study that focused on the achievement of national independence in the developing nation of Papua New Guinea. It was hypothesized that indigenous Papua New Guineans (n = 231 high school students) would show greater national identification and positive sentiment toward their new nation than a comparable group of 75 Australian high school expatriates. Analysis of responses to attitude items, the Rokeach Value Survey, H. Cantril's (1965) ladder measures, and questions concerning hopes and fears for the future of Papua New Guinea supported the hypothesis and indicated a relative merging of personal and national concerns for the Papua New Guinea group.
