Demographic Effects on the Use of Vertical Sources of Guidance by Managers in Widely Differing Cultural Contexts
Data provided by 7380 middle managers from 60 nations are used to determine whether demographic variables are correlated with managers’ reliance on vertical sources of guidance in different nations and whether these correlations differ depending on national culture characteristics. Significant effects of Hofstede’s national culture scores, age, gender, organization ownership and department function are found. After these main effects have been di…
Culture Shock Due to Contact with Unfamiliar Cultures
The topic of this chapter is the social psychology of cross-cultural interaction. We discuss the psychological processes that take place during and after meetings between individuals and groups who differ in their cultural backgrounds. We identify two types of cross-cultural contact: a) meetings that occur between two societies when individuals travel from their place of origin to another country for a specific purpose and a limited amount of tim…
The learning strategies of bilingual versus monolingual students
Four studies, two in a boys’ and two in a girls’ school, were conducted to test the hypothesis that bilingual pupils have a cognitive advantage over comparable monolingual children. Age (14 or 16 years old) and language proficiency (one or two languages) were systematically varied for a total of N of 496. SES, first and second language proficiency, intelligence, scholastic achievement, educational opportunity and teaching environment were all con…
Role Conflict, Ambiguity, and Overload: A 21-Nation Study.
The extent of role conflict, role ambiguity, and role overload reported by middle managers from 21 nations was related to national scores on power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity. We adapted earlier role stress scales and assessed equivalence using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. Role stresses varied more by country than by personal and organizational characteristics. Data were aggregated to the national l…

Cross-Cultural Differences in the Self Concept: A Test of Hofstede's Individualism/Collectivism Distinction
Twenty-six Malaysian (Collectivist), 32 Australian, and 20 British (Individualist) subjects completed ten statements beginning with "I am." The responses were coded according to whether they were idiocentric, group, or allocentric self-references. The scores were then weighted according to the rank order in which they appeared on the questionnaire. As predicted by Hofstede's model, people from the collectivist culture produced significantly more …
Power Distance, Individualism/Collectivism, and Job-Related Attitudes in a Culturally Diverse Work Group
Hofstede's power distance (PD) and individualism (IDV) constructs were validated in the context of a single multicultural work setting. Two hundred sixty-three workers from 28 different countries employed in the information services branch of a large Australian bank completed a questionnaire the items of which measured some implications of the constructs, namely: superior-subordinate relationships, decision-making styles, the work ethic, task ori…

Friendship Patterns of Overseas Students: A Functional Model
The respondents were 30 foreign students at the University of Hawaii (6 each from Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand), and 6 host national (American) students, balanced for sex. The subjects identified their 5 best friends, and the 5 people with whom they spend most of their time. The subjects were then presented with a list of 15 activities, and identified a preferred companion for each of the situations. The data were used to t…
Ethnic Role Salience in Racially Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Societies
Hawaiian-Japanese, Japanese, and Australian subjects were presented with a slide depicting either a Japanese or a Caucasian couple, and asked to describe three ways in which the two persons in the picture were similar. The dependent variable was ethnic role salience, measured in terms of the frequency and rank order of ethnic trait references appearing spontaneously in the descriptions. Contrary to orthodox role theory, but as predicted by McGuir…
Religious Role Differentiation as an Aspect of Subjective Culture
A synthesis between reference group theory and structural analyses of social behavior is proposed, through a link between the concepts of role salience and role differentiation. This integration is then extended to provide a framework for some of the processes mediating individual differences in subjective culture, and some of the problems inherent in cross-cultural communication. The theoretical analysis is illustrated by an empirical study whic…
The Effects of Subordinates' Behaviour on Managerial Style
A manager faced with variations in subordinates' behaviour will accommodate his behaviour to fit the interpersonal circumstances. This will happen even if it means reversing a stated preference for a particular managerial style. This hypothesis was tested in a laboratory experiment. Subjects acted as managers working with subordinates to devise an itinerary for a visiting head office executive. In a 2 x 2 design, democratic and autocratic manager…

National Role Evocation as a Function of Cross-National Interaction
The hypothesis that a cross-national interaction increases ethnic role salience was investigated in a laboratory setting. Subjects and confederates engaged in free social interaction, and sub-sequently Ss were required to describe the other person, how they thought the other person perceived them, and how they saw themselves. The experiment was run under three conditions: a) Australian Ss interacting with an Australian confederate (C); b) Austral…
