Abstract:
A computer program for introductory anthropology students was designed to illustrate some of the diversity among 400 cultures. The program enables students to be matched with cultures that have traits similar to their preferences. It is conversational, and no previous computer experience is needed or assumed. Data are from Textor's A Cross-Cultural Summary (1967). Work with the computer program is integrated with library re search and gives students experience in use of library resources, data veri fication procedures, and the interpretation of ethnographic accounts. Results of student use of the program indicate that it documents diversity, illustrates the difference between coded and ethnographic data, and provides back ground on the interests of students.
