We hypothesized that Asian countries have different relational values in their social interaction context even though they exist in the same geographical area, and most cross-cultural analysts have grouped these Asian cultures into one category of Eastern culture, characterized as being collectivists. The current study investigated relational values of intra-regions of Asia, analysing the dataset of the World Values Survey (WVS), the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), and the AsiaBarometer. The evidence boils down to three findings: (1) Southeast and South Asian countries, characterized by high traditional values, emphasize the role of family and relatives in life more, while East Asian countries, which have low traditional values, give more attention to the importance of friend; (2) as the social friendship network, countries with high traditional values have more friends at the work place and neighborhood than those in low, while countries with low traditional values have more close friends than those in high; and (3) the impact of religion affects each country’s relational values of social network.}, pages = {87--97}, title = {Cross-Cultural Comparison of Relational Values of Asians : Analysing the World Values Survey, International Social Survey Programme, and AsiaBarometer}, volume = {64}, year = {2017} }
