The positivity effect is robust to health and social content in ambiguous scenario interpretation
These studies investigated whether the positivity effect in older adults results in positively valenced interpretations of ambiguous scenarios and whether personally relevant health content and induced positive and negative moods attenuate or moderate the effect. In two studies conducted in 2022 and 2023, older ( n Study1 = 31, M ageStudy1 = 72.16, SD ageStudy1 = 7.81, n Study2 = 51, M ageStudy2 = 71.64, SD ageStudy2 = 6.39) and younger ( n Study…

The impact of financial inclusion on economic development
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to measure the impact of financial inclusion on economic development. Design/methodology/approach Study 1 used World Bank Data to develop financial inclusion percentages of ownership of checking accounts, savings accounts, debit cards and loans for 179 countries among the poorest 40% of the population, from 2011–2017. Regressions established the financial inclusion, gross savings and GDP per capita growth link…
Funding health in developing countries
Purpose This paper presents three models of funding health care in 130 developing countries, based upon a public system, a private system and personal remittances. Design/methodology/approach The authors trace the funding of health from foreign aid to health funding and health outcomes in the public system, foreign direct investment to health funding in the private system, and personal remittances to health outcomes. This is followed by panel dat…
Instrumental values
Compares the values underlying the behaviour of a sample of 87 US, 56 Jamaican, 42 Bahamian, 106 Colombian, and 12 Israeli managers and professional staff. Refers to literature defining individualism and collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, and masculinity/femininity; as well as literature establishing these values as instrumental or terminal. Hypothesizes that each country‘s respondents will record different instrumental values, …
Determinants of Receptivity to Expatriate Assignment
This study is an empirical investigation of receptivity to expatriate assignment in culturally similar and dissimilar environments. The theoretical underpinnings of the study emerge from a model of the expatriate adjustment process which views the determinants as anticipatory adjustment variables antecedent to actual adjustment. Vertical individualism, career distance and corporate career policy along with role clarity and economic development as…
Acculturation
Acculturation profiles based on the self‐oriented, others‐oriented, and perceptual dimensions of acculturative adjustment were derived for MNC employees of American, Canadian, Indian, Japanese, Latin American, Carribean and Nigerian origin. Our finding of significant, target‐specific, intercultural differences is of paramount importance in delineating areas of predeparture expatriate training and development
The Individualism‐Collectivism Construct
This study is an extension of an etic‐emic analysis of the individualism‐collectivism construct at the sociopsychological level to an organizational context. At the first level of comparison, strong and weak etics were extracted to permit comparability of values. At the second level, emic elements were produced to provide a basis of intercultural comparisons. Purely individualistic, purely collectivist and multidimensional factors emerged for the…
