AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article is a chapter in 'Studies in a Hawaiian Community' (see documents, nos. 7, 18-27), in which the authors make some general points about Hawaiian culture. First, it is a people-centered and affiliative-oriented culture in which people honor commitment to friends and seek good fellowship above any personal gain. Hawaiians avoid interpersonal conflict and are indifferent to status considerations that might set someone apart. They also avoid public failure, ridicule, shame, and recognition. The authors examine both childrearing practices and past history to better understand how these values developed. The implication borne out by the full study is that these values impact on how Hawaiians act in the educational, health, and welfare systems.
