Abstract

The construction, validation, and application of a device constructed in terms of indigenous Sierra Leone culture to measure Traditional versus Western attitudes and value change, is described. The theoretical framework is outlined in some detail, together with the application of the device in controlling for exposure to Western influences, in two different research studies.
