Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die primêre doel van die huidige studie was om kruis-kulturele verskille ten
opsigte van direkte en indirekte aggressie tussen Xhosa, Zulu, Kleurling en
Blanke Suid-Afrikaanse studente te bestudeer. 'n Totaal van 832 studente het die
Richardson Conflict Response Questionnaire (RCRQ), 'n vraelys wat direkte en
indirekte aggressie meet, voltooi. Die Kleurling-deelnemers het beduidend-hoër
vlakke van direkte aggressie gerapporteer as enige van die ander groepe. Die
Zulu-deelnemers het beduidend-hoër vlakke van indirekte aggressie as beide die
Xhosa- of Kleurling-deelnemers gerapporteer. Geen beduidende geslagsverskille
kon vasgestel word nie. Daar is tot die slotsom gekom dat kultuur 'n groter
bepaler van verskille ten opsigte van aggressiewe gedrag was as geslag van die
deelnemers. Daar word vertrou dat die resultate van die huidige studie 'n bydra
sal maak tot die effektiewe bestuur van aggressie in Suid-Afrika, asook tot die
bevordering van internasionale begrip vir die kulturele diversiteit van die land. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT : The primary aim of the present study was to examine cross-cultural differences in
direct and indirect aggression between Xhosa, Zulu, Coloured and White South
African students. A total of 832 students completed the Richardson Conflict
Response Questionnaire (RCRQ), a measure of direct and indirect aggression.
The Coloured participants reported using significantly higher levels of direct
aggression than any of the other cultural groups involved. The Zulu participants
reported using significantly more indirect aggression than their Xhosa or
Coloured counterparts. No significant gender differences could be established. It
was concluded that culture was more predictive of differences in aggressive
behaviour than was sex of the participants. It is hoped that these results may
contribute towards the effective management of aggression in South Africa and
assist in promoting international understanding of the cultural diversity in this
country.
