Various perspectives in fostering an attitude of openness to others (the others). One of them is a cross-cultural or cross-cultural perspective. Cultural crossing or cultural crossing is a way of combining two or more cultural elements which are then crossed, grafted, mated or reconciled, so that new, fresh and creative cultures emerge. Cross-cultural studies were introduced by Edward Burnett Tylor and Lewis H. Morgan in anthropology which later developed into the realm of culture. Cross-cultural perspectives can now be applied freely to something that refers to anything about the comparison of cultural differences, including the comparison of religion. The main goal is to minimize conflict and build a co-existence or sincere openness with others.

Abstract Tomasello argues in the target article that, in generalizing the concrete obligations originating from interdependent collaboration to one's entire cultural group, humans become “ultra-cooperators.” But are all human populations cooperative in similar ways? Based on cross-cultural studies and my own fieldwork in Polynesia, I argue that cooperation varies along several dimensions, and that the underlying sense of obligation is culturally modulated.

Summary: This paper presents the results obtained in Spain with The Interpersonal Adjective Scales of J.S. Wiggins (1995) concerning the variables' structure. There are two Spanish versions of IAS, developed by two independent research groups who were not aware of each other's work. One of these versions was published as an assessment test in 1996. Results from the other group have remained unpublished to date. The set of results presented here compares three sources of data: the original American manual (from Wiggins and collaborators), the Spanish manual (already published), and the new IAS (our own research). Results can be considered satisfactory since, broadly speaking, the inner structure of the original instrument is well replicated in the Spanish version.
