Social Behavior and Personality, 1999 by Cheung, Chau-Kiu, Kwok, Siu-Tong

Further research can also replicate the analysis with samples of nonstudent populations of Chinese and even other societies. The present model would be a universal one applicable to various populations. Only by validly identifying those ideologies related to different traditions (Western and Chinese) and modes of production can one gauge the social implication of values with reference to Marx's historical-materialist perspective.
