Cross-Cultural Atlas
About 1978 at the University of Illinois Bookstore I purchased computer print-outs of analyses reported by Charles E. Osgood, W. H. May, and M. S. Miron in their 1975 book, Cross-Cultural Universals of Affective Meaning (Urbana: University of Illinois Press). The print-outs reported results of "tool-making" analyses, and provided Evaluation-Potency-Activity profiles for 610 concepts in 17 culture/language communities:
 | Costa Rica/Spanish |
| Germany/German |
| India/(Hindi, Bengali) |
| Iran/Farsi |
| Israel/Hebrew |
| Lebanon/Arabic |
| Malaysia/Malay |
| Mexico (Mexico City, Yucatan)/Spanish |
| Netherlands/Dutch |
| Portugal/Portuguese. |
| Thailand/Thai |
| Turkey/Turkish |
| U.S.A./(White English, Black English) |
| Yugoslavia/Serbo-Croat |
The Osgood, May, and Miron book reported analyses in additional communities, but I have no information regarding societies other than those listed above.
As time permits, I am converting these print-outs to PDF files and posting them on the Web for posterity. I also am scanning the EPA profiles for 610 concepts into a pancultural data file in SPSS format. These materials may be downloaded at www.indiana.edu/~socpsy/Atlas/.
