    The Lens Inverts the Image: How Cultural Differences beyond Language Affect Dialog between the US and Iran
    (2012-05-30) DeKay, Cynthia
    Communication through non-semantic and non-verbal means varies across cultures as much as vocabulary and grammar. Cultural misunderstanding has fueled conflict between the US and Iran in the recent past – conflict that was exacerbated by a political ideology that placed no importance on culture as a factor in international relations. At present, political relations between the US and Iran are hostile and there is talk of war. During such a critical period, effective communication between the two nations is essential. While both countries have excellent translators, language is only the beginning of cross-cultural communication. In this study I explore some of the most problematic differences in non-verbal and non-semantic communication between the US and Iran and propose action needed to overcome them.

    Measurement properties and invariance of negotiation with outdoor recreation constraints -- a cross-culture study between United States and Chinese University students
    (2012-09) Guo, Tian
    Leisure constraints negotiation research investigates the resources, strategies, and processes people use to deal with leisure constraints. This study examined the measurement of negotiation, including its latent structure, measurement invariance, and cross-cultural applicability, using data from US and Chinese university student samples. A modified second-order negotiation measurement model fit the data acceptably and tau-equivalence was found with most negotiation factors, except cognitive strategies. Equal form emerged across the US and the Chinese samples; however, equal indicator loadings were not found across the two groups. Findings and implications are discussed with future studies suggested. Key word: negotiation; cross culture; second-order model; tau-equivalence; measurement invariance
