本文以启发性的实例阐述了民族性格定量研究的基本概念和方法。民族性定量研究的两个主要基础是跨时代的民族性和国际比较的民族性，这两个方面的研究方法有很大的不同。在前一种情况下，时间序列调查是必不可少的。有关这些调查的各种问题进行了讨论。在后一种情况下，一种新的方法“文化链接分析”的发展。通过这两种途径，探讨了民族性格的共性与差异、普遍性与特殊性。在不同层次上显示了民族性的统计定义。除了这些理论上的考虑，本文介绍了调查研究的结果，文化联系分析的基础上，在七个国家，包括以下群体：美国人，荷兰人，英国人，法国人，德国人，意大利人和日本人（包括日裔美国人和非日裔美国人在夏威夷，和日本巴西人在巴西）。
The fundamental concepts and methodologies of the quantitative study of national character are described with heuristic examples. The two major foundations of the quantitative study of national character are its interchronological and international comparative aspects, whose associated research methods are quite different. In the former case, time-series surveys are indispensable. Various problems concerning these surveys are discussed. In the latter case, a new method of "cultural link analysis" is developed. Through these two approaches, commonalities and differences, and universalities and particularities of national characters are explored. The statistical definition of national character on various levels is shown. Besides these theoretical considerations, the paper presents results from survey studies, based on cultural link analysis, in seven nations, encompassing the following groups: Americans, Dutch, English, French, Germans, Italians and Japanese (including Japanese Americans and non-Japanese Americans in Hawaii, and Japanese Brazilians in Brazil).
