Cultural Influence On Selective Attention Processes A Study With Special Reference To Nigerian Catholic Adolescents

ABSTRACT

The present study is concerned with the cross-cultural differences in selective attention among the ethnic groups of the ibo and Yoruba catholic adolescents of Nigeria. The general hypothesis that the Yoruba adolescents are more likely than the ibos to possess audio-visual skill in selective attention was proposed. A group of two hundred 16 year old adolescent boys and girls for this study were randomly drawn from four catholic secondary schools.

Six experiments in selective attention from the basis of this investigation. The first three experiments examine cross-cultural differences within the auditory split span dichotic listening, and speech shadowing experimental modes of selective attention, while in experiments four, five and six, the cross-cultural differences are sought within the visual preference between colour and form, and short term memory correlates of selective attention.
