Abstract

The focus of this study was to assess the effects of the social environment on the emotional development of two social groups and to monitor distinct psychological characteristics of each group. Personal symbols of private love and hate experiences of 48 political militants and recognized artists from six Western nations were used as sources of data. Statistical analyses yielded significant results indicating that (a) the two groups use different emotional symbols, and (b) there is the possibility the two groups may be viewed as distinct irrespective of the cultural differences of informants within each group.
