Sojourners
The term “sojourner” refers to an individual who travels to another culture for a specified period of time to achieve a particular goal. Sojourners do not intend to permanently settle in another culture and plan to return to their culture of origin after completing the goals of their journey. Much of the research on sojourners has focused on the topics of acculturation, adaptation, and adjustment. All three involve continuing processes that resul…
Working with Cultural Differences: Dealing Effectively with Diversity in the Workplace
Given the internationalization of business, and the increasing need to work effectively with culturally diverse people in one's own country, people are facing new and more common challenges in developing workplace relationships. The challenges include communicating across differences in the use of silence and indirectness, dealing with negative exchanges, or neutral exchanges that one party perceives as negative, making decisions, working through…
Cultural Intelligence: Domain and Assessment
The construct of cultural intelligence, recently introduced to the management literature, has enormous potential in helping to explain effectiveness in cross cultural interactions. However, at present, no generally accepted definition or operationalization of this nascent construct exists. In this article, we develop a conceptualization of cultural intelligence that addresses a number of important limitations of previous definitions. We present a…
Culture and Ethics Management: Whistle-blowing and Internal Reporting within a Nafta Country Context
This article examines the relation of culture to the propensity for, and potential effectiveness of, both internal reporting and whistle-blowing as ethics management tools within a North American context. Samples from a total of 10 regions in the US, Canada and Mexico increased the accuracy and meaningfulness of the findings. Hofstede's cultural dimensions uncertainty avoidance and power distance had the most consistent and significant relationsh…
Cultural Intelligence: Understanding Behaviors that Serve People’s Goals
Cultural intelligence has various meanings that can be looked on as complementary. On one hand, it refers to behaviors that are considered intelligent from the point of view of people in specific cultures. Such behaviors can include quick application of previously learned information in some cultures, getting along with kin in other cultures, and slow and deliberate consideration of alternative courses of action in still other cultures. On the ot…
Hawaiian attributional perspectives on intercultural interactions in higher education: Development of an intercultural sensitizer
Evolving Perceptions of Japanese Workplace Motivation: An Employee-Manager Comparison
This research effort specifically examines perceptions of workplace motivation in Japan between employees and managers while highlighting results that are somewhat counterintuitive to the traditional western perception of Japanese ethnography. Specifically, we find some evidence for a potentially shifting movement toward a self-orientation with more emphasis on lifetime employability over lifetime employment. During a period when incremental effi…
Encouraging Depth Rather than Surface Processing about Cultural Differences Through Critical Incidents and Role Plays
Intercultural interactions will increase in the future given international business ventures, immigration patterns, recognition of minority group rights in various countries, and other social changes. People can prepare themselves by participating in formal educational and training programs that deal with understanding cultural differences and with communication across cultural boundaries. One approach to education and training is to analyze crit…

Bridging Gaps: Cross-Cultural Training in Teacher Education
Successful interactions with individuals of different backgrounds necessitates adjustment to and awareness of myriad cultural perspectives, attitudes, and be haviors. Cross-cultural training has demonstrated the ability to bring about change in people's cognitions, affective reactions, and behavior.

Cross-Cultural Research in Psychology
A revolution in the science of emotion has emerged in recent decades, with the potential to create a paradigm shift in decision theories. The research reveals that emotions constitute potent, pervasive, predictable, sometimes harmful and sometimes ...Read More

Comparative research methodology: Cross‐cultural studies
Cross‐cultural research can make contributions to theory development by identifying groups of people who seem not to behave according to established theories and by increasing the range of independent variables available for study in any one culture. A major methodological orientation to such studies, developed over the last 10 years, is the emic‐etic distinction. An emic analysis documents valid principles that describe behavior in any one cultu…
Back-Translation for Cross-Cultural Research
Two aspects of translation were investigated: (1) factors that affect translation quality, and (2) how equivalence between source and target versions can be evaluated. The variables of language, content, and difficulty were studied through an analysis of variance design. Ninety-four bilinguals from the University of Guam, representing ten languages, translated or back-translated six essays incorporating three content areas and two levels of diffi…

Non-Random Sampling of Individualsin Cross-Cultural Research
Although true random samples are necessary for the successful completion of some research projects, studies using non-random samples can also be valuable. Research using non-random samples can be improved, however, and our recommendation is for a more careful description of them, to appear in methodology sections of published research. This practice has three purposes: (1) It will allow other researchers to choose their samples with more precisio…

Cultural Differences in the Perception of a Three-Dimensional Ponzo Illusion
An ecological hypothesis related to the Ponzo illusion is that people who show a large susceptibility are misapplying cues that are valid in their natural environments with which they have everyday experience. Past cross-cultural research supporting this hypothesis has been based on two-dimensional stimuli. A better test of the hypothesis would be based on judgments of three-dimensional, natural-world stimuli. Judges from urbanized areas in the U…
The Ponzo Illusion: Additional Cues, Age, Orientation, and Culture
The postulated ecological hypothesis used to explain the Ponzo illusion is that the converging lines indicate distance, and so there is an unconscious inference that "the top line must be longer since it is further away." Four hundred and twenty Ss, ranging in age from 3 to 22 years, from Guam and Pennsylvania were administered various forms of the Ponzo illusion. Results were generally in line with the ecological hypothesis, especially if the im…

The Content and Evaluation of Cross-Cultural Training Programs
The paper reviews and evaluates the content of operational and experimental cross-cultural training programs within the three military services. In addition, cross-cultural training data from other sources are examined. The paper describes the operational and experimental programs and the methods used for evaluating the long-range effects of such training. Finally, techniques that appear to be effective for cross-cultural training in the military…
