A content analysis of all comic strips appearing in the 9 leading NY City newspapers during October, 1950, was assumed to depict M & F personality, & husband & wife roles. A total of 20 consecutive editions involving 156 diff strips were classified as domestic, adventure, & comedy, & the characters in them analyzed according to status & occup, mental status, age, goals, & ideals pursued. The characters were also rated on traits such as aggression, intelligence, height, strength, sex appeal, & tendency to initiate action. Among the results are: 58% of the strips dealt with a LMc soc milieu; the unmarried M in the adventure strips is masterful, aggressive, & more intelligent & logical than the F, whereas in the domestic strips the reverse is the case; M in the domestic & in the comedy strips are more active in giving love than the women, but in the adventure strips the women give, but fail to receive, love more often than the men.

On the basis of his experience as a New York psychiatrist who has been consulted during the past 5 yrs by 128 foreign S's from 35 countries, 54 of whom have been given intensive therapy, the writer has 2 observations to make: (1) these S's, like people everywhere, seek certain goals, & become psychol'ly disturbed when they are not obtained, & (2) every culture has typical goals which represent the traditional ways of approaching the ultimate human satisfactions. In the following discussion, an important culture-goal of the S's of each of 4 diff cultures will be analyzed in relation to their attainment & in relation to the act of going abroad. Chinese Culture. An important goal in Chinese culture is affection for the father. When this goal deteriorates, as by contact with `modern' att's abroad, the effect is unsettling on mental health. Absence of filial respect also may be a consequence of maternal domination or because the father has degenerated in the eyes of his children. Jewish Culture. Whereas learning is one of the most important values of Jewish culture, most European Jewish women are expected to confine themselves to child-rearing & housekeeping. Because many young Jewish women in New York are now invading professions associated with learning & reserved traditionally for men, the situation is generative of value-conflict & ensuing psychol'al problems. Iberian Culture. The supreme value of the Spanish or Portuguese man is being a `good male'. The corresponding value for the female is being superlatively feminine. Hence, male anxieties often center on fears concerning one's masculinity. Iberian women who enter non-feminine occup's are often victims of psychol'al problems. North European Culture. Making a vocational choice appropriate to their family & SC status is an important value for S's from Northern Europe. Vocational insecurity & conflict may bring such individuals to a need for therapy. Though the impact of an alien culture has its problems for the foreign S, his mental health is most seriously endangered when his deep foundations of personality are shaken, foundations established in the culture of his origin.
