Conflict Patterns Among Greek Couples: The Role Of Values, Self- Disclosure, And Relationship Satisfaction, Marianna Argiropoulou, Vassilis Pavlopoulos, Karen Quek
Conflict Patterns Among Greek Couples: The Role Of Values, Self- Disclosure, And Relationship Satisfaction, Marianna Argiropoulou, Vassilis Pavlopoulos, Karen Quek
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This study tested the assumption that self- and spouse reports on values, self-disclosure and satisfaction could predict conflict patterns, as proposed by Rusbult, Zembrodt, & Gunn’s (1982) Exit-Voice-Loyalty-Neglect typology. Participants were 133 married Greek couples. Results were generally consistent with expectations: Self- and spouse reports on satisfaction, self-disclosure and values were significant predictors of the use of the four conflict resolution strategies, to an extent that varied across conflict type, informant (self vs. spouse) and gender. Overall, husbands were more satisfied than wives. No differences were found at the mean level of selfdisclosure, or in the frequency and type of …
Culture And Passionate Love, Elaine Hatfield, Richard L. Rapson
Culture And Passionate Love, Elaine Hatfield, Richard L. Rapson
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
For more than 4,000 years, poets and storytellers have sung of the delights and sufferings of love and lust. This chapter reviews what scholars from various disciplines have discovered about the nature of passionate love and sexual desire. Anthropologists and evolutionary psychologists have assumed that passionate love is a cultural universal. Cultural researchers, historians, and social psychologists have emphasized the stunning diversity in the way passionate love and sexual desire have been viewed and experienced. Culture, ethnicity and the rules passed down by political and religious authorities have a profound impact on the way people think about and act out …
Estonians And Russians In Contemporary Estonia: Is The Soviet Past Still Dominating The Present?, Aksel Kirch, Tarmo Tuisk, Hanna-‐Hulda Reinkort
Estonians And Russians In Contemporary Estonia: Is The Soviet Past Still Dominating The Present?, Aksel Kirch, Tarmo Tuisk, Hanna-‐Hulda Reinkort
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The current article focuses on a study about Estonians and Russians living in Estonia. As a method we used Identity Structure Analysis (ISA) to investigate their patterns of identification with 'Estonians', 'Russians in Estonia', 'Russians in Russia', and 'Estonian Government'. The themes embraced constructions of the past, including the context of the Soviet Union's role in WWII. Findings suggest that alarming events on the streets of Tallinn (April 2007) appear to be related to the role of the Soviet Union in WWII inter alia, where its construction as 'occupier' of Eastern Europe (as opposed to 'liberator') forms a 'core evaluative …
It Can Be Taught: Explorations Into Teaching The Foundations For Multicultural Effectiveness, Randall E. Osborne, Paul Kriese, John M. Davis
It Can Be Taught: Explorations Into Teaching The Foundations For Multicultural Effectiveness, Randall E. Osborne, Paul Kriese, John M. Davis
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Connections are drawn between the development of intercultural sensitivity, interpersonal skills, and critical thinking. A case is made that fostering particular critical thinking skills in courses enhances interpersonal skills, and that enhanced interpersonal skills facilitate movement along Bennett’s (1993) proposed continuum of development of intercultural sensitivity. Discussion centers on how to integrate these qualities (e.g., critical thinking, intercultural sensitivity, and interpersonal skills) and facilitate them in courses. Furthermore, it introduces a call for research on how to test these assumptions with experiences beyond the classroom.

Validation Of The Infant-Toddler Home Inventory Among Households In Low Income Communities At The Kenyan Coast, Penny Holding, Amina Abubakar, Elizabeth Obiero, Fons J. R. Van De Vijver
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The aim of this paper is to describe the adaptations made to the Infant-Toddler version of the Home Observation Measure of the Environment for use in a low income Kenyan population. A total of 425 (214 girls) children aged 6-35 months were involved in this cross-sectional study. Focus groups and in-depth individual interviews were used to generate culturally appropriate modifications. Translations and back translations of the HOME were carried out using a Panel Approach. A significant number of items from the original HOME (N = 26) showed limited variability and were excluded from the final schedule. Two more items were …
Theory Of Mind Understanding In Narration: A Study Among Children From Different Socioeconomic Backgrounds In India, Nandita Babu
Theory Of Mind Understanding In Narration: A Study Among Children From Different Socioeconomic Backgrounds In India, Nandita Babu
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This study investigates the theory of mind understanding as reflected in the narratives of children from families of low as well as high socioeconomic-status (SES). A group of 30 Hindi-speaking children from six to seven years of age and their mothers participated in this study. Children were asked to narrate six stories prompted by pictures and standard verbal probes. In addition, they were also administered false-belief tasks to assess their theory of mind understanding. Later, their mothers were asked to narrate three stories to their children. Content analysis of the stories indicated the frequency of occurrence of words referring to …
Social Support Networks On International Assignments, Erika Spieß, Christina Stroppa
Social Support Networks On International Assignments, Erika Spieß, Christina Stroppa
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This study presents the role of social support and of networks for staff of small- and medium-sized enterprises and large corporations on foreign assignment. We used both, a qualitative and quantitative approach: qualitative interviews of staff of small- and medium-sized enterprises revealed the special need of support within the scope of the assignment and the immense significance of a well-functioning, supportive network. A quantitative survey with 143 respondents examined the relation between the phases of an assignment for satisfaction, stress, and company support. The outcome was that critical phases of foreign assignment were the sojourn and the return phases, marked …

Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Bias in terms of culture has been posing threat to cross-cultural research since the very beginning of crosscultural endeavor. Metric and statistical methods have been discussed in literature in order to deal with this type of bias; however, some of these methods show side-effects on the level of scale validity and some others with so stringent effects on the available information and allow for very limited variance to be interpreted. The present twofold study describes yet another method, this time based on country clusters, following the idea introduced by Georgas & Berry (1995) of employing country sets based on their …
Those Wonderful People Across The Sea: Positive Out-Group Bias By Caucasians Toward Asians, Wing Sze Leung, Shue Ying Ting
Those Wonderful People Across The Sea: Positive Out-Group Bias By Caucasians Toward Asians, Wing Sze Leung, Shue Ying Ting
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
While individuals often favor their in-group, they sometimes favor an out-group, such as when Caucasians positively stereotype Asians' quantitative abilities. It is unclear, however, whether positive stereotypes of Asians extend into other domains and create a generalized halo effect that influences judgments on other attributes. To examine this, three studies were performed. In Study 1, Asians and Caucasians were equally biased toward an Asian's response to a calculus problem. In Study 2, Asians, but not Caucasians, gave lower grades to essay writers they guessed were Asian. In Study 3, Caucasians rated their ethnic group with fewer positive terms and more …
Vietnamese Students Abroad: A Research Framework, Le Nhat Tran
Vietnamese Students Abroad: A Research Framework, Le Nhat Tran
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, a critique of the current literature on the acculturation experience of Vietnamese international students is provided. Second, a review of the distinctive cultural-historical traits of Vietnamese international students is presented, demonstrating their differences relative to other Asian sojourning groups as well as other Vietnamese migrant groups. A third purpose of this paper is to present a Vietnamesespecific psychological acculturation framework that might pave the theoretical foundation for investigations on the acculturation experience of Vietnamese international students. This framework is based upon Berry’s (1997) acculturation framework, and De Jong and Fawcett’s (1981) value-expectancy …
Host Acculturation Orientation: Some Preliminary Impressions Of The French Students On Ethnic Minority Groups In Montpellier, S. France, Jyoti Verma
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The objective was to study the host acculturation orientation of a sample of 100 French students of a S. France University. For this purpose a nine-items Host Acculturation Scale was used. Observations gave the impression that the students considered it significantly ‘more important’ that the immigrants maintained their heritage culture in their homes rather than doing so in general or at the workplace. Furthermore, it was considered only ‘partially important’ that the immigrants adopted the French norms, values and customs in general and at the workplace, and ‘not important at all’ that they did so in their homes. Ethnic groups …
Jealousy And Infidelity Among Mexican Couples, Sofia Rivera-‐Aragon, Rolando Diaz-‐Loving, Pedro Wolfgang Velasco-‐Matus, Nancy Montero-‐Santamaria
Jealousy And Infidelity Among Mexican Couples, Sofia Rivera-‐Aragon, Rolando Diaz-‐Loving, Pedro Wolfgang Velasco-‐Matus, Nancy Montero-‐Santamaria
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
Gender differences in jealously have been traced back to both socio-cultural, as well as to evolutionary sources. The evolutionary approach predicts similar gender differences to be found in all cultures. Socio-cultural explanations, however, suggest that the patterns of gender differences may be culture-specific. The current study investigated gender differences in the relations between jealousy and infidelity in Mexico. 537 participants (248 men; 289 women) filled out an inventory of jealousy and infidelity, respectively. The results show first a positive relationship among infidelity, anger, fear, suspicion, frustration and distrust. Second, the data reveal a clear gender difference in that men desired …

The Functions Of Music-Listening Across Cultures: The Development Of A Scale Measuring Personal, Social And Cultural Functions Of Music, Diana Boer, Ronald Fischer, Jimena De Garay Hernández, Ma. Luisa González Atilano, Luz Moreno, Marcus Roth, Markus Zenger
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
We examined the functions of music-listening from a cross-cultural perspective. Two studies were conducted to capture personal, social and cultural experiences with music. Young people were sampled; mainly online surveys were used. Study 1 is a qualitative multicultural study that identified seven main functions of music: background, memories, diversion, emotion, self-regulation, reflection of self, and social bonding. In study 2, based on the qualitative data, we developed and validated a scale measuring Ratings of Experienced Social, PErsonal and Cultural Themes of MUSIC functions (RESPECT-MUSIC) in three cultural samples (Latin-American, Anglo- Saxon, and Germanic). A ten-factorial solution was found to be …
The Significance Of Positive Perceptions Of Counseling In Willingness To Seek Counseling Help: An Indonesian Study, Jenny Lukito Setiawan
The Significance Of Positive Perceptions Of Counseling In Willingness To Seek Counseling Help: An Indonesian Study, Jenny Lukito Setiawan
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This paper describes a study designed to investigate the relationships between perceptions relevant to counseling and willingness to seek counseling. A total of 1,279 undergraduates who came from an urban area in Indonesia volunteered to participate in the questionnaire survey. Results show that those who were potentially highly likely and those who were less likely to seek counseling showed significant differences in most of the areas of perceptions of counseling. Generally, the potential high seekers had better perceptions of counseling than the potential low seekers. The study suggests that those with more positive perceptions are more disposed to seek counseling. …
Meaning Correlates Of Value Orientations, Shulamith Kreitler
Meaning Correlates Of Value Orientations, Shulamith Kreitler
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
The purpose was to explore the relations between value orientations and meaning assignment tendencies. The hypotheses were that values would be related to a certain number of meaning variables that would be similar in three cultural groups. The participants were 150 individuals of both genders living in Israel. They are from three cultural communities (50 participants each): Israeli, French, and Russian. They were administered the values inventory PQ IV by Schwartz (1992) and the Meaning Test by Kreitler and Kreitler (1990a). The relations between the values of hedonism, power, and benevolence and the meaning variables were analyzed by correlations. The …
Structure Of Acculturation Attitudes And Their Relationships With Personality And Psychological Adaptation: A Study With Immigrant And National Samples In Germany, Paul G. Schmitz, John W. Berry
Structure Of Acculturation Attitudes And Their Relationships With Personality And Psychological Adaptation: A Study With Immigrant And National Samples In Germany, Paul G. Schmitz, John W. Berry
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
This contribution deals with the structure of acculturation attitudes and their relationship with personality dimensions and psychological adaptation. Based on two German samples—an immigrant and a national one— evidence suggests that four independent factors are underlying acculturation styles as assessed with the Acculturation Attitudes Styles (AAS). Integration, Assimilation, Separation, and Marginalization are independent, lowly correlated constructs and represent distinct modes of coping with acculturation demands. Analyses also demonstrate that each acculturation factor shows a specific pattern of personality characteristics, including basic temperament dimensions, cognitive styles, coping, and components of emotional intelligence. Finally, the four acculturation styles can predict psychological adaptation …
Can Happiness Change? An Interdisciplinary, Multi-Method Investigation Of The Dynamics Of Happiness, Franziska Deutsch, Mandy Boehnke, Ulrich Kühnen, Klaus Boehnke
Can Happiness Change? An Interdisciplinary, Multi-Method Investigation Of The Dynamics Of Happiness, Franziska Deutsch, Mandy Boehnke, Ulrich Kühnen, Klaus Boehnke
Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences
None of the major basic questions social sciences are concerned with can satisfyingly be answered from the perspective of one discipline alone. Each of them proposes theories and perspectives that make unique and important contributions. At the same time theoretical perspectives in general inevitably do have their blind spots. This fundamental insight was the reason for us to choose as the motto for the 19th IACCP congress held in Bremen in 2008 “Crossing borders – (Cross-) Cultural Psychology as an Interdisciplinary, Multi-Method Endeavor”. In this chapter we first want to illustrate this motto and our reasons for choosing it by …
