Iatmul: Personality Formation II Return to: "To the Field and Back" Samoa: The Adolescent Girl I n 1925, Margaret Mead journeyed to the South Pacific territory of American Samoa. She sought to discover whether adolescence was a universally traumatic and stressful time due to biological factors or whether the experience of adolescence depended on one's cultural upbringing. After spending about nine months observing and interviewing Samoans, as well as administering psychological tests, Mead concluded that adolescence was not a stressful time for girls in Samoa because Samoan cultural patterns were very different from those in the United States. Her findings were published in Coming of Age in Samoa (1928), a vivid, descriptive account of Samoan adolescent life that became tremendously popular. It was published in more than a dozen editions in a variety of languages and made Mead famous. One of the reasons for the popularity of the book was that Mead had revised the introduction and conclusion of her original manuscript, adding two chapters that dealt directly with the implications of her findings for child rearing in the United States.

Students earn 16 semester credits on a 15-week experience designed to encourage a global awareness that enables people to live and act in an interdependent world. Groups of seven to 25 students are lead by one or two academic directors. The Pacific Ocean is home to some of the world's most remote habitats, including the constellation of over 20 island nations that make up the distinct cultural zones of Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia. Today, these traditional island societies are undergoing vast transition as they struggle to maintain their cultural identity in the face of increasing social, political, and economic pressure. Your program is based in Samoa, a cradle of Polynesian tradition and the first of the Pacific Island nations to regain independence after World War II. Utilizing resources of local universities and international development agencies based in Samoa, you study human and natural environments, including critical issues of social change and stress, village resource management, and community development.

Culture change, stress, and immune function in Samoan youth Samoans are currently experiencing an unprecedented period of cultural diversification: non-traditional legal, political, and economic institutions continue to encroach, and western consumer goods and lifestyles are increasingly available and desired. A recent epidemic of adolescent suicide suggests that these transitions may be problematic, particularly for the youth of Samoa. The objectives of this research are threefold: 1) To introduce a cross-cultural and developmental perspect- ive to the large body of western-based research in stress and immune function; 2) To evaluate new methodological tools for assessing immune function in field settings; and 3) To develop models of culture change and stress specifically relevant to the experiences of youth. A blood spot measure of EBV antibody level was developed as an immunological measure of chronic stress, and assayed in over 800 samples from 5-20 year-olds living in a range of urban and rural Samoan villages. C-reactive protein levels were also assayed to control for pathogen burden. Adolescents living in more westernized areas of Samoa, as well as adolescents from households with high levels of incongruity in aspects of social status, have elevated EBV antibodies, indicating lower immunocompetence and a higher burden of psycho- social stress. This work has been significant in introducing new methodological tools for assessing stress, and in evaluating new models of culture change specifically relevant to the experiences of youth.
