The present study investigates similarities and differences in perception of emotional support in friendship. Ecuadorians (N = 87) and Poles (N = 60) completed a questionnaire constructed in two cultural versions. The questionnaire consisted of five conversation vignettes between two women. Participants evaluated women's behaviours varied by: level of intimacy; reason for self-disclosure and type of emotional support. Burleson's (1994) typology of emotional support was a theoretical framework for the study. The findings indicated that comforting messages low in person centeredness were evaluated lower by Poles in comparison to Ecuadorians. Additionally, low person centeredness of a supporting actor had a significant effect on the evaluations of the person who was seeking for a support. There were no differences between Poles and Ecuadorians in their perception of high person centered emotional support. The results indicated that intimate conversations between close friends were evaluated higher in a Polish sample in comparison to the daily conversations. The opposite result was observed in an Ecuadorian group.

The article presents the Spanish-Polish comparisons of social axioms dimensions and preferred love styles. The survey tries to link different research streams: social axioms (Leung & Bond, 2001, 2004) and love styles (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986) and tries to answer the question about their relationships. The authors of Social Axioms Survey questionnaire (Leung & Bond, 2001) suggest that social axioms, which are generalized beliefs about social live belong to five pan-cultural dimensions: Spirituality, Fate Control, Social Cynicism, Reward for Application, Social Complexity. This survey contains comparisons of Polish (N=87) and Spanish (N=89) students concerning social axioms. Additionally, in order to verify functional aspect of social axioms the Love Attitude Scale (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986) were applied.The results show important multicultural differences in social axioms dimensions and no differences in love styles. High scores on some of social axioms scales are predictors for some of love styles.

The present paper provides a comprehensive and exhaustive summary of the cross-cultural and cultural psychological research that has been carried out in Hungary since 1960 up to the present based on all research papers published in Hungarian psychological and psychiatric journals during this period. The analysis takes a chronological and thematic approach. It presents how the gradual opening up of the country made it possible for Hungarian and foreign research groups to establish scientific cooperation and carry out comparative research. It pays special attention to the social-political changes at the end of the eighties that resulted in a rapid increase of the number of research topics, number of countries researched and the number of researchers involved in cross-cultural and cultural comparative research. The main goal of the paper is to put together the accumulated knowledge in the field and provide a solid foundation to the birth of cultural comparative psychology in Hungary as an autonomous psychological discipline with long tradition.
