Hong Kong Chinese direction-of-motion stereotypes

Stereotypes for direction-of-motion between controls and displays were tested using a paper-and-pencil test. Three hundred and forty-five Hong Kong Chinese subjects of both sexes and from a broad range of backgrounds and ages were asked to indicate the control movement they would make to move a display dot in a given direction. Three types of controls and three different planes for the controls were used. The result indicates that there were some areas of agreement with Western stereotypes, but the Hong Kong Chinese subjects used here also exhibited stereotypes not found in Western subjects.
