College-Stress and Symptom-expression in International Students: A comparative study

Shenoy, Uma Ajit 02 September 2001 (has links)
The primary purpose of the investigation was to examine differences in symptom-expression between Caucasians and Asians in response to college-stress. College-stress was defined as adjustment problems that students experience as a function of exposure to a college environment. The propensity of each group to express symptoms in response to stress in somatic (i.e., bodily) versus psychological (i.e., anxiety and depression) modes was investigated. Previous reports have postulated a somatization hypothesis for Asians, as opposed to a psychologization tendency in Caucasians. Intra-Asian differences with respect to symptom-expression were also examined. Data were collected electronically. 115 graduate students participated in the study. Using Fisher's transformations to compare correlations, it was found that neither the somatization nor the psychologization hypotheses were supported. However, within Asians depression demonstrated a stronger association with stress than somatic symptoms. A subsidiary purpose of this investigation was to determine whether attribution-style was an aspect of culture that could lead to differences in symptom-expression. It was hypothesized that Asians would have a more external attribution-style, while Caucasian-Americans would have a more internal style. External style was hypothesized to be related to a somatic tendency, while internal style was hypothesized to be related to a psychological tendency. None of these hypotheses were supported. Finally, some exploratory analyses were carried out to assess the effect of demographic variables on symptom-expression. Sex was related to anxiety symptoms, while level of education was related to somatic symptom-reports. Overall, these findings highlight the need for cross-cultural research in psychology to adopt a more systemic approach in studying variables, as opposed to using merely country/culture as an independent variable. / Ph.

Developing an Electronic Tool for Cross-Cultural Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CCSCW)

Vu, Jimmy M. 20 April 2004 (has links)
There is a lack of tools available to support cross-cultural communication and collaboration. Current research is comprised of assessments of the need for better cross-cultural communication tools and discussions of simple guidelines for developing such a tool. Existing programs such as chat or video-conferencing have been altered to be used in a cross-cultural setting, but little data has been gathered on their effectiveness. There is a need, according to the literature in the field of Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW), that cross-cultural tools be developed, researched, and comprehensively studied. The purpose of this research was to show that a simple cross-cultural communication tool can be developed to support electronic cross-cultural collaborations. BlissChat was developed in Virginia Tech's Macroergonomics and Group Decision Systems Laboratory for this purpose. The dependent measures for the study consisted of the time of completion and errors committed. The experimental design was a 2 x 2 between factor design. The factors were divided into a concordant (same language culture) group versus a discordant (different language culture) group. The other independent variable was the environment, whether they used the communication tool BlissChat, or in the ideal setting of face-to- face (FtF). The two culture groups used were Chinese first language speakers and English first language speakers. Participants who used BlissChat were able to perform their tasks as accurately as those who met FtF by not committing significantly more errors (p<0.05), but they did not perform as efficiently. The participants using BlissChat did not perform as efficiently as those meeting FtF (p<0.05). It took participants using BlissChat much longer to perform their task than participants in FtF conditions (p<0.05). The consequence of these outcomes will effect both the current use as well as the future outcomes of CCSCW. / Master of Science

Ekspatriantų kultūrinės atskirties mažinimas tarpkultūrinėje vadyboje / Narrowing the cultural gap of expatriates in cross-cultural management

Rubinas, Andrius 23 June 2014 (has links)
Organizacijų darbuotojai, atlikdami pavestas tarptautines užduotis, dažnai susiduria su įvairiomis problemomis, kurios gali turėti lemiamos reikšmės užduoties įvykdymo sėkmei. Nebuvo aptikta duomenų, kad Lietuvoje buvo atliktas tyrimas, kuris nagrinėtų į užsienio šalis išsiųstų organizacijos darbuotojų problemas ir siūlytų problemų sprendimo būdus. Darbo problema. Kokiomis tarpkultūrinės vadybos priemonėmis būtų galima sumažinti ekspatriantų kultūrinę atskirtį? Darbo tikslas. Remiantis tarpkultūrinės vadybos teorijomis, sukurti modelį, kuris padėtų ekspatriantams lengviau adaptuotis tarpkultūrinėje darbo aplinkoje. Uždaviniai: 1. Atlikti kultūros, vadybos bei tarpkultūrinės vadybos teorijų analizę. 2. Išanalizuoti tarpkultūrinės vadybos modelius. 3. Ištirti tarpkultūrinių ciklų stadijas bei jų svarbą organizacijoms. 4. Išanalizuoti ekspatriantų pasirinkimo ir apmokymų modelius. 5. Pasiūlyti naują tarpkultūrinį modelį, mažinantį ekspatriantų kultūrinę atskirtį. Tyrimo objektas – Lietuvos piliečiai, dirbantys tarptautinių ryšių turinčiose organizacijose bei vykdantys, besiruošiantys vykdyti ar jau vykdę organizacijos paskirtas tarptautines užduotis. Keliamos hipotezės: Hipotezė Nr. 1.: Ekspatriantų kultūrinę atskirtį mažina intensyvūs tarpkultūriniai apmokymai. Hipotezė Nr. 2.: Organizacijos pagalba tarptautinės užduoties vykdymo metu padeda sumažinti ekspatriantų kultūrinę atskirtį. Tyrimo metodai. Siekiant išsiaiškinti tarpkultūrinės vadybos įtaką ekspatriantų kultūrinei... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / Business globalization trends raise the new priorities for management theory and practice. Furthermore, being the member of European Union provides new opportunities for Lithuanian companies to reach foreign markets. This situation increases the need of expatriates doing international assignments and working in foreign cultural settings. The goal of this work is – to create an international assignment model based on cross-cultural management theories and practices, which could help expatriates to adopt better to foreign organization cultures. The objectives are: 1) to make the analysis of culture, management and cross cultural management theories; 2) to analyze cross cultural models; 3) to examine the international assignment models; 4) to analyze expatriate training models; 5) suggest new cross cultural model, which minimizes cross cultural gap of expatriates. The object of the research is expatriates working in International organizations who are going to make, making or made International assignments. For research the author used such methods: 1) the analysis of scientific literature; 2) the empirical research; 3) data analysis. The first part of the work, discloses major theoretical issues of cross cultural management and organizational culture. In the second part it is made the review of expatriates International assignment models. In the third part it is given the analysis of available services of consultancy companies working in cross-cultural training business and... [to full text]
