Using Wrightsman's Children's Philosophies of Human Nature Scale, it was show that Indo-Fijians and Europeans both had a higher level of belief in the trustworthiness of people than did indigenous Fijians. It was also shown that females had a higher level of belief in the trustworthiness of people and a lower level of belief in strength of will and rationally of others than males did. Additionally, Europeans were shown to see people in general as more complex than the Fijian and Indo-Fijian groups. The Solomon Islands result show that people who are seen as "closer' are perceived as easier to understand and are more to be trusted than those seen as "distant;" this is particularly so for females. The three studies demonstrate how an inventory can illuminate an area of beliefs in human nature otherwise difficult to investigate. As in the multi-ethnic societies studied, it is important to understand objectively beliefs and perceptions such as these, as they are often the key to the way people behave toward one another.
