ABSTRACT
Trinidad and Tobago, not unlike many Caribbean countries is a plural society resplendent in its cultural diversity. It prides itself with an ethno historical background of African slavery, Indian indentureship and European migration emerging into a post emancipation society of open expressions of social commentaries in song, dance and language. It remains today and easy going society with a style of picong communication which to the observer remains strange. This chapter underlines the relevance of the behaviour of migrant groups both from the sending and receiving countries since the relics of a culture persist despite cultural changes. A questionnaire survey on the culture of Trinidad and Tobago is undertaken to study the cultural behaviours existing in Trinidad and Tobago and to assess the population's awareness, perception and description of these behaviours. Respondents were presented with nine identified behaviours and perceived five of them to be part of Trinidadian culture Liming, carnival mentality, player or playboy personality, Tabanca and obsessional lateness were identified as existent cultural behaviours.
