The purpose of the study was to assess the differences between Malaysian (n = 50)and Singaporean (n =16) Chinese students studying in the U. S. A. and their American counterparts (n =102) in the way they evaluate a number of common political concepts on a bad-good scale of a visual analog type. The political concepts used were: Communism, Socialism, Colonialism, Imperialism, Democracy, Fascism, Nazism, Totalitarianism, Neutralism, Anticommunism, Free Trade, Freedom, Militarism, Internationalism, Patriotism, Nationalism, Terrorism, and Racism. The concepts of Communism, Imperialism, Fascism, Nazism, Militarism, Terrorism, and Racism were evaluated negatively and the concepts of Democracy, Neutralism, Free Trade, Freedom, and Internationalism positively by all three groups. In spite of considerable communality of the evaluative meaning of political concepts across the three national groups, significant differences between groups in at least one out of three intergroup comparisons existed for 13 out of 18 concepts. The differences between the three national groups were discussed in terms of some cultural and political characteristics of the three respective countries. Some limitations of the results were indicated.
