From Homer To The 21st Century: Charting The Emergence Of The Structure Of Interpersonal Meaning, John Adamopoulos Jan 2009

From Homer To The 21st Century: Charting The Emergence Of The Structure Of Interpersonal Meaning, John Adamopoulos

Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences

During the last quarter of the 20th century, cross-cultural research established that the meaning of interpersonal behavior can be described in terms of a universal structure that includes, among others, the notions of association (affiliation), superordination (dominance), and intimacy. While researchers generally agree on most of these universal dimensions, little is known about their origins –the whys and the wherefores of these structures. An approach designed to explain the emergence of the meaning of interpersonal behavior is the focus of this chapter. This approach is based on the assumption that social behavior involves the exchange of material and psychological resources, …

Culture As Unfolding Process: Integrating Perspectives In Building A Theory, Ludmila N. Praslova Jan 2008

Culture As Unfolding Process: Integrating Perspectives In Building A Theory, Ludmila N. Praslova

Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences

Current theory and research in culture and psychology produced multiple definitions and conceptualizations of culture. This paper reviews several approaches to understanding culture and introduces an integrative model of Culture as Unfolding Process (CUP) as a way of integrating insights from several perspectives. The model highlights mechanisms of cultural change and stability, and provides a versatile framework for understanding culture on multiple levels.


From Service To Solidarity: Evaluation And Recommendations For International Service Learning, Melissa Baker-Boosamra Jul 2006

From Service To Solidarity: Evaluation And Recommendations For International Service Learning, Melissa Baker-Boosamra

SPNA Review

For service learning pedagogy to live up to its fullest and most authentic potential, educators must address the pitfalls of privilege that often go unexamined in relationships between groups of affluent university students and underprivileged populations that service learning programs traditionally seek to “serve.” In order to address dynamics of power and privilege inherent in any relationship between those who “give service” and those who are “served”, a relationship of honesty, reciprocity and mutuality must be established and promoted between those two groups. This study is an effort to further establish such a relationship by fully involving Salvadoran partners in …

A Cross-Cultural Study Of Weddings Through Media And Ritual: Analyzing Indian And North American Weddings, Erika Buckley Jan 2006

A Cross-Cultural Study Of Weddings Through Media And Ritual: Analyzing Indian And North American Weddings, Erika Buckley

McNair Scholars Journal

The wedding is one of the only rituals or events that many cultures of the world consistently have in common. Weddings are found in almost every society. A wedding can feed consumer appetites and the industry that supports it. Costs for the average United States wedding can range from $26,000 to $35,530 or more (“Cost of Weddings” 2006). The costs of Indian wedding ceremonies vary from $34,000 up to $2 million (Das 2005). Despite this large range the Indian wedding industry averages only $11billion annually while its American counterpart is a whopping $50 billion each year (“Cost of Weddings” 2006, …


Motivations And The Intent To Study Abroad Among Us, French And Chinese Students, Carol M. Sanchez, Marianela Fornerino, Mengxia Zhang Jan 2006

Motivations And The Intent To Study Abroad Among Us, French And Chinese Students, Carol M. Sanchez, Marianela Fornerino, Mengxia Zhang

Peer Reviewed Articles

This paper analyzes the relationship between students’ motivations and their intention to participate in study abroad programs using a model based on expectancy theory. We surveyed US, Chinese and French business students who studied in their home countries. Results suggest that certain motivations are common among students from the three countries. We found that the direction of the relationship between motivations and the intent to study abroad varied among the three countries, that nationality moderates all of the relationships, and that different levels of the barriers moderate the relationship between motivations and the intention to study abroad.


The Measurement Of Implicit Motives In Three Cultures: Power And Affiliation In Cameroon, Costa Rica, And Germany, Jan Hofer, Athanasios Chasiotis, Wolfgang Friedlmeier, Holger Busch, Domingo Campos Nov 2005

The Measurement Of Implicit Motives In Three Cultures: Power And Affiliation In Cameroon, Costa Rica, And Germany, Jan Hofer, Athanasios Chasiotis, Wolfgang Friedlmeier, Holger Busch, Domingo Campos

Peer Reviewed Articles

This article examines methodological issues related to the measurement of implicit motives in culturally divergent samples. Implicit motives are seen as basic needs shared by all human beings. However, cross-cultural comparisons are very restricted because many cross-cultural studies on implicit motives with non- Western cultures developed and discussed culture-inherent stimuli. The aim of the study here was to search for a culture-independent set of picture stimuli measuring two basic motives (affiliation and power motive) in three different cultures. Two pretests and one main study were carried out in Cameroon, Costa Rica, and Germany with student and non-student samples, respectively, and …

How can West Michigan companies surmount the people problems in India? Help is available — help in the form of a major international …
