This research examined the relationship between intergroup contact, intercultural communication apprehension, and social perspective taking. Participants were students taking a course which facilitates interactions between culturally diverse students around the globe via internet technologies, students taking an introductory psychology course, and students taking upper-level psychology courses. Participants in the intercultural contact condition were expected to show gains in social perspective taking and a decrease in intercultural communication apprehension when compared to the two comparison groups. No significant differences between the three groups were found for either change in intercultural communication apprehension or social perspective taking. Potential explanations for this lack of change are explored, along with a path model to explain the influence of extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness and openness on the dependent variables.

Esta pesquisa, fundamentada na Psicologia Intercultural e na Antropologia Social, se propôs a compreender quais são as vivências, relacionadas aos aspectos étnicos e religiosos, existentes no casamento entre uma brasileira (muçulmana ou não) e um muçulmano estrangeiro. Para tal foi adotado o método etnográfico, presencial e virtual, tendo como campo empírico presencial uma comunidade turca muçulmana localizada na cidade de São Paulo e uma comunidade muçulmana localizada na cidade de Barretos, interior de São Paulo. Como campo empírico virtual a pesquisa contou com blogs pessoais, comunidades no Facebook e vídeos amadores produzidos por brasileiras casadas com muçulmanos turcos e árabes, uma vez que se entende o espaço cibernético como uma dimensão constitutiva de uma sociedade, onde os sujeitos se constroem e atuam. Os colaboradores desta pesquisa foram brasileiras casadas com muçulmanos turcos ou árabes, tanto do ambiente presencial quanto virtual e membros pertencentes as comunidades especificadas. Como instrumento de coleta de dados, a pesquisa contou com a observação participante da pesquisadora nas comunidades muçulmanas já referidas e em casas de casais interculturais (brasileira casada com muçulmano árabe ou turco) e casais turcos, com as observações feitas em vídeos amadores (disponibilizados no YouTube) produzidos por algumas interlocutoras como também os produzidos por outras brasileiras que se relacionavam ou haviam se casado com um muçulmano turco ou árabe, em notícias jornalísticas ou institucionais viabilizadas na rede, assim como em material televisivo: filmes e novelas. Os registros feitos em caderno de campo também foram utilizados, assim como se utilizou entrevistas abertas realizadas presencialmente e/ou via Skype, WhatsApp ou e-mail. Os dados coletados estão inseridos e analisados por eixos temáticos e encontram-se distribuídos ao longo do texto, simultaneamente à teoria. Com efeito, concluiu-se que os encantos estiveram presentes na aprendizagem de uma nova cultura; músicas, sabores, paisagens e o relacionar-se com um homem que ainda guarda o romantismo perdido de muitos brasileiros. Os desencantos se referiram a novos hábitos alimentares, a aceitação da nova religião (islâmica) pela família brasileira e a vivência em terras em que os papéis de gênero são bem delineados. Contudo, também se encontrou nessa pesquisa, a problemática dos relacionamentos realizados de forma integral no mundo virtual, em que muitas brasileiras são utilizadas como trampolim para esses homens deixarem a crise financeira de seus países, o que acaba por resultar em casamentos interculturais com enfrentamento de altos níveis de dificuldades, incluindo brasileiras vítimas de vários tipos de abusos.This research, grounded on Intercultural Psychology and Social Anthropology, aimed to understand the experiences related to the ethnic and religious aspects of the marriage between a Brazilian woman (Muslim or not) and a foreign Muslim man. The study used the ethnographic method, using virtual and face-to-face methods to collect empirical data, having a Turkish Muslim community located in the city of São Paulo and a Muslim community located in the city of Barretos, in the interior of São Paulo state, for the face-to-face interactions. In order to collect the virtual empirical data, the researcher accessed personal blogs, Facebook communities and amateur videos produced by Brazilian women married to Turkish and Arab Muslim men, since the cyber space is understood as a constitutive dimension of a society, where the subjects build themselves and act. The collaborators of this research were Brazilian women married to Turkish or Arab Muslims, both from the face-to-face and virtual environments, and members belonging to the specified communities. Research included participant observation of the researcher in the Muslim communities already mentioned and in houses of intercultural and Turkish couples as data collection instrument. Intercultural couples were Brazilian women married to Arab or Turkish Muslim men. Amateur videos produced by some interlocutors, available in YouTube, were used for observation. Videos produced by other Brazilian women who had relationship or had married Turkish or Arab Muslim men, reports or institutional news available on the internet and television material such as movies and soup operas were also sources for participant observation. Other materials used were registers made in the field notebook and open face-to-face, Skype, WhatsApp or e-mail interviews. Collected data were inserted and analyzed by thematic axes, distributed simultaneously with the theoretical concepts throughout the text. It was concluded that charms were present in learning a new culture; music, flavors, landscapes and the relationship with a man who still keeps the lost romanticism of many Brazilians. However, the disenchantment refers to new eating habits, the acceptance of the new (Islamic) religion by the Brazilian family and the experience in lands where the gender roles are well delineated. However, the research also found the issue of relationships fully developed in the virtual world, in which many Brazilian women are used as a springboard for these men to leave the financial crisis of their countries. This ultimately results in intercultural marriages that face several difficulties, including Brazilian women being victim of various types of abuse.

Анотація:
Self-disclosure is the process of sharing personal information with others and varies according to relationship intimacy, cultural norms, and personal values. Collectivism, defined as the tendency to define oneself in terms of social/cultural roles, may impact self-disclosure in intercultural relationships. The present study investigated whether Latinos/as reliably self-disclose more in intracultural versus intercultural friendships and acquaintanceships. An additional question was whether cultural variables such as collectivism, ethnic identity, and acculturation are related to self-disclosure differences. Data were collected via an online survey from internationally born Latinos and Latino Americans. Results of linear mixed effects model testing revealed that relationship type and partner ethnicity had significant relationships with self-disclosure. Higher collectivism was related to increased self-disclosure across all relationship types. Acculturation was related to self-disclosure only in the context of partner ethnicity and friendships, while ethnic identity did not demonstrate a general relationship with self-disclosure. Potential explanations for these results are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to develop a Navajo Intercultural Sensitizer. It is an attempt to sensitize non-Navajo educational personnel who have come to work in the Navajo Nation to the attributional system of the Navajo culture. The assimilationist, culturally destructive educational policies of the past have been an objective failure. This effort attempts to build on the cultural strengths of Navajo people by promoting the acknowledgement, respect, and understanding of cultural differences. The method used is based on the identification of critical incidents that produce misunderstanding, confusion, or bad feelings between Anglo and Navajo people. The construction of the Navajo Intercultural Sensitizer involves four phases: episode generation, episode selection and construction, attribution elicitation, and attribution selection. Critical incidents (87) were gathered from Navajo students, teachers, and teachers' aides at two Reservation sites. Fifty-six of the incidents were selected by an eight person bilingual and bicultural panel of Navajos who were community and educational leaders. Attributions were elicited in response to the incidents and questions posed. An Anglo sample was drawn from students who were entering the fields of education, educational psychology, counseling, and clinical psychology. Attributions were elicited from them upon presentation of each episode and associated questions concerning the thoughts, feelings, or behavior of the Navajo participant in the incident. An empirical test, consisting of 56 incidents and the question associated with each episode, was administered to a sample of Navajos (n = 70) from two Reservation sites and the Anglo group (n = 56). Each question was followed by four choices. Forty-six of the incidents yielded significant (p < .05) differences in the attributions chosen by the two cultural groups in a chi-square test of significance. These incidents, plus two more, were used in the development of the Navajo Intercultural Sensitizer. The ICS is in a programmed instructional format. The learner is presented with the incident, the question and four plausible attributions. The task of the learner is to learn how the Navajos tended to attribute meaning to the incident.

O presente trabalho representa um esforço de sistematização do grande número de reflexões que surgem das experiências de educomunicação desenvolvidas por três escolas da cidade de São Paulo com realidades socioculturais significativamente diferentes: uma escola pública da periferia de São Paulo, um colégio católico particular e uma escola indígena Guarani. Estas comunidades interagiram por meio de diversas mídias na criação de diálogos e debates, e realizaram encontros com enfoque na discussão da Ecologia e Cultura da Paz. A pesquisa, portanto, pretendeu descrever os processos de integração sociocultural que estas três comunidades educacionais viveram. A noção de pobreza espiritual/existencial foi parte importante das reflexões da pesquisa uma vez que reúne uma ampla gama de idéias e representações presentes nas comunidades participantes relativas à crise cultural e de valores que afeta seu convívio. No mês de maio de 2009 foram realizadas entrevistas com crianças, jovens e adultos de cada uma das três escolas antes de realizar os encontros. No mês de dezembro de 2009 as mesmas pessoas foram entrevistadas visando verificar possíveis mudanças ao comparar suas expectativas, atitudes, imaginários e a respeito do que afirmaram sobre os fundamentos do processo de integração que as experiências interculturais permitiriam a crianças, adolescentes, pais e educadores das três escolas participantesThis work represents an effort to organize the large number of ideas that emerge from the experiences of edu-communication developed by three schools in the city of São Paulo with significantly different sociocultural realities: a public school of São Paulo, a private Catholic College and a Guarani indigenous school. These communities have interacted through various media in creating dialogues and debates, and met with a focus on discussion of ecology and culture of peace. The search, therefore, wished to describe sociocultural integration processes that these three educational communities lived. The notion of \"spiritual/existential\" poverty was important part of search reflections since gathers a wide range of ideas and participating communities attend representations concerning cultural crisis that affects our life values. In May 2009 were conducted interviews with children, teenagers and adults in each of the three schools before the meetings. In December 2009 the same people were interviewed to check potential changes to compare their imaginary expectations, attitudes, and what they said about the basics of the integration process that intercultural experiences allow children, teenagers, parents and educators of the three participating schools

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar e identificar como se deu o processo de migração de mulheres brasileiras a Suíça, que vieram a casar-se com suíços e as repercussões desse casamento em suas vidas. Nesta perspectiva, foram considerados os aspectos relacionados às motivações para a
migração e as dificuldades enfrentadas ao chegar; as circunstancias em que conheceram seus maridos;
a adaptação ao país, à família do cônjuge e ao próprio casamento e, finalmente, os sentimentos experimentados e as necessidades sentidas. O trabalho está dividido em três artigos, sendo um teórico e dois empíricos. O primeiro apresenta um breve levantamento histórico sobre o casamento e as transformações que esta instituição vem sofrendo ao longo do tempo. O segundo artigo procura
investigar as motivações da migração e como as participantes vieram a se casar. O terceiro artigo estuda o casamento intercultural, entre brasileiras e suíços, e as repercussões desse casamento em suas vidas. A metodologia é baseada na abordagem qualitativa. Foram entrevistadas doze mulheres que
vivem na parte alemã da Suíça. A análise dos dados foi realizada a partir da Análise de Conteúdo Temática. Os resultados indicam que as motivações das participantes para a migração estão relacionadas à procura de melhores oportunidades de vida ou por terem se apaixonado por um suíço. Algumas se casaram para permanecer no país, outras por amor. Entretanto, de maneira geral, as dificuldades encontradas no casamento são semelhantes: dificuldades com o idioma, a mentalidade suíça, a criação dos filhos, a religião e com os familiaresThis dissertation aims to analyze and identify the process of migration of Brazilian women to Switzerland who came to marry with Swiss men and the repercussions of this marriage in their lives. In this perspective were considered the aspects related to the motivations for the migration and the difficulties at the arrival; the circumstances at meeting their husbands; the adaptation to the country, to the family in law and to the marriage itself; and finally the feelings experienced and the needs felt. The research is divided into three articles, one theoretical and two empirical. The first one presents a brief historical uprising about marriage and the transformation this institution has been suffering a long time. The second article searches to investigate the motivations of the migration and how the participants came to marry. The third article studies the intercultural marriage between Brazilian women and Swiss men, and the repercussions of this marriage in their lives. The methodology was based in a qualitative approach. Twelve Brazilian women who are married with Swiss men and live in Switzerland in the German part were interviewed. The appreciation of the data was realized with Minayos Content Analysis. The results indicate that the motivations for the migration of the participants are related to the search of better life opportunities or for falling in love with a Swiss. Some married for staying in the country, other married because of love. Nevertheless, in general, the difficulties found in marriage were similar: difficulties with the language, swiss way of thinking, children education, religion and relatives

This thesis explores the question of intercultural personhood in two 'mainstream' Australian cases within interpersonal, intercultural relations in Australian contexts in the second half of the twentieth century. The problem is viewed through three disciplinary lenses: those of communication, psychology and sociology. A qualitative, interdisciplinary approach integrates these through an inductive biographical research design. Within cross-cultural communication studies, a host culture such as that of the Anglo-Australian majority is seen in a monolithic and static way to which Australians of other cultural backgrounds are seen to adapt. These studies give no place to the changes which members of the majority undergo. 'Intercultural personhood', a term coined by Kim (1988, 2001), describes the kinds of 'ethnic' individuals who through negotiating their identities within personal, social and mass communication contexts, both host and ethnic, move beyond the bounds of their own cultural heritage to embrace both their former cultural identity and the new 'host' (viz Australian) identity. In this thesis, the elements of cross-cultural adaptation theory and of 'intercultural personhood' are applied to the intercultural experience of 'mainstream' Australians. From preliminary memory work workshops and focus groups, the cases of two mainstream individuals who show some evidence of 'intercultural personhood' and make identity claims comparable with 'ethnic' adapters are then developed through biographical method. Their life accounts are drawn on for the exploration of issues of identity and personhood within interpersonal, intercultural relations. Major focus is given to the social psychology of Harre (1983, 1993, 1998), whose work provided both a conceptualisation and a methodological tool for the problem. In Harre's work, three dimensions of personhood, namely consciousness, agency and biography are identified together with the psycho-social processes through which an individual's identity and orientation to their culture is appropriated, transformed and publicised. This publication is then rejected or incorporated into the culture through processes of conventionalisation. These four psycho-social processes are explored in my study through an adaptation of assisted biography method (De Waele & Harre, 1979). The strength of the psycho-social approach of Harre lies in its ability to get below the surface behaviours to an analysis of the theory of self which individuals, as 'singular' beings, bring into play in their interactions within themselves and with one another. While this approach draws on social contexts to support the transformations, it is not designed to explicate to a sufficient degree the conditions under which such theories of self are activated and within which changes in identity occur and are maintained. For this reason it is essential to incorporate a sociological framework to understand the influence of the conditions within which such experiences are played out. Bourdieu's (1984, 1987) cultural, relational sociology is coupled with Harre's (1983, 1993, 1998) theory of personal and social being in that it brings together the individual and the society in a way which proves fruitful for ongoing analysis of the biographical data collected within the communication and psycho-social framework of the earlier research. Bourdieu's critique of a methodology based on biography points to the 'illusion' that is created through a biographical interview process. Taking this critique of biography into the study of interpersonal, intercultural relations meant a shift from the communication interactions and psycho-social analysis undertaken to an analysis of the various social constructions evident within the elements of the life account and a search for the cognitive imprint of social structures as durable dispositions within the persons. These dispositions are evident from within a social trajectory of the life and they are applied to the intercultural encounters recounted by the participants in their autobiographies. The addition of Bourdieu's (1984, 1987) sociology strengthens the ability to view the individual and the society through a single lens and to position the individual life course as secondary within a broader and primary analysis of social structure and social structuring as a means of interpreting lives. Its weakness lies in the degree of 'voluntariness' brought into effect as individuals both chart their course through life and are pushed and pulled by the various social forces at work within their trajectories. Within the scope of this thesis, these two approaches, that is, a psychological and a sociological one, are illustrated and incorporated into an interdisciplinary model for the study of interpersonal, intercultural relations. Further rigorous research to validate the components and the relationships of the model and to investigate these strengths and weaknesses more thoroughly is foreshadowed. This interdisciplinary model of interpersonal, intercultural relations is the major contribution of this work to the field of intercultural communication. Advances which are achieved through use of psychology, sociology and biographical research method as a tool through this study are also identified. The thesis concludes with a review of the contributions of the thesis and a discussion of the implications for future research on interpersonal, intercultural relations.

This thesis examines a special kind of intercultural communication called interability communication, the interactions between the disabled and the abled. In-depth interviews were conducted with six Japanese men (average age 44.3 years), all of whom experienced the transition from being a member of the nondisabled majority to becoming a member of the disabled minority when they received spinal cord injuries in traffic accidents. The average length of time since the initial acquisition of disability was 25.7 years, and all of the men are now gainfully employed, living in the community, and report high levels of quality of life.
This study shows that following their sudden acquisition of disability, the subjects developed new ways of interacting with both their physical and social environments. Their relationships with family and friends were altered. They developed new communication strategies for dealing with nondisabled people, especially centered on asking for help, and accepting or rejecting offers of help.
Their cultural value orientations with regard to power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism-collectivism, and masculinity-femininity also underwent changes. This study shows that an understanding of these changes can help nondisabled people, including family members, friends, medical and rehabilitation specialists, etc. to interact more smoothly with disabled people.
Although the sudden acquisition of disability is usually regarded as an extremely negative event, this study concludes that the six men have experienced positive growth. They have developed more ethnorelative worldviews, and they have successfully adapted to their disabilities.
From the 164 pages of interview transcriptions, more than I 0 pages of direct quotations appear in this thesis in an attempt to accurately retell the stories of these six men.

Para uma comparação intercultural das influências do contexto sobre a codificação de etnia, duas variações do Protocolo de Confusão de Memória (PCM) foram aplicadas em brasileiros. Ambas as variações consistem em uma exibição de slides de uma discussão entre duas equipes esportivas rivais, com membros negros e brancos em ambos os times, em duas condições: Controle (times com roupas de cores idênticas) e Experimental (times com roupas de cores distintas). As variações são: Traduzida, com fotos de jogadores de basquete usadas no experimento original e diálogo traduzido; e Adaptada, com fotos de brasileiros com camisetas de futebol e com o diálogo reelaborado visando consistência com o esporte. O estudo foi dividido em três fases: (I) exposição de 84 participantes, do estado de São Paulo ao PCM Traduzido (II) exposição de 569 participantes em sete estados brasileiros (BA, ES, MT, RJ, RN, SC, SP) ao PCM Traduzido (III) exposição de 77 participantes do estado de São Paulo ao PCM Adaptado. Na Fase I, a codificação etnia acompanhou o aumento da intensidade da codificação de coalizão (condição experimental), em contraposição ao experimento original (Kurzban et al., 2001). Na Fase II, a codificação de etnia diminuiu de intensidade quando a codificação de coalizão aumentou, em taxa similar à da aplicação original, mas a codificação de coalizão manteve taxa mais baixa, em ambas as condições, em relação aos dados originais. Na Fase III os resultados em ambas as dimensões foram análogos aos da aplicação original. O conjunto de dados reforça a teoria da universalidade do módulo de codificação de coalizão e que a codificação de etnia seja subproduto deste. Também refletem a importância de uma adaptação cuidadosa em estudos interculturais.For a cross-cultural comparison of context influences in ethnicity encoding, two variations of the Memory Confusion Protocol (MCP) were applied on Brazilians. Both variations consist in a slide-show exposition of a discussion between two rival teams, with black and white players on both sides, in two forms: Control (teams with identical grey colour) and Experimental (teams with different colours). The two variations were: Translated Only, with photographs of basketball players used in the original experiment, and the respective translated dialog; and Adapted, with photographs of Brazilian models with soccer uniforms and a re-elaborated dialog, more fitting to this sport. The research was divided, then, in three different phases: (I) a 84 participants experiment with the Translated MCP, in the state of São Paulo (II) a 569 participants experiment with the Translated MCP, in seven different Brazilian states (BA, ES, MT, RJ, RN, SC, SP); and (III) a 77 participants experiment with the Adapted MCP, in the state of São Paulo. In Phase I, the ethnicity encoding, contrary to the original experiment (Kurzban et al., 2001), accompanied the intensity grown of the coalition encoding. In Phase II ethnicity encoding lowered in intensity during a the raise of intensity of coalition encoding, but coalition encoding kept a lower intensity, in both conditions, if compared to the original experiment coalition encoding rates. In Phase III, the results of both dimensions are analogue to those of the Kurzban et al., 2001 experiment. The data obtained strengthens the theory of a universal coalition encoding module, and encoding ethnicity as a byproduct of it. The data also reveals the importance of a carefully planned adaptation in order to run cross-cultural studies.

Nas últimas décadas do século XXI, os acordos de cooperação acadêmica nacional e internacional entre as universidades têm se intensificado e contribuído para o encontro entre realidades educacionais e culturais diversificadas. Neste contexto, questionamos como as relações interpessoais se desenvolvem, considerando a cultura como mediadora desse processo e da relação com a alteridade. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa é compreender o sentido da experiência intercultural e a relação de alteridade para alunos estrangeiros em intercâmbio acadêmico na Universidade de São Paulo. Com base nas técnicas e procedimentos do método de Jacob Levy Moreno, desenvolvemos uma proposta de interlocução entre o psicodrama e a fenomenologia de Maurice Merleau-Ponty para refletir sobre o tema da alteridade. Foram organizados dois grupos de intervenção sociopsicodramática formados por latino-americanos, europeus e asiáticos com o propósito de descrever e entender os sentidos atribuídos pelos alunos à experiência intercultural. Os temas circunscreveram o sentido da experiência intercultural em termos da língua utilizada, da comparação entre os países e da vivência como estrangeiro, o que se mostrou relevante para a dinâmica do papel de intercambista. A análise dos resultados destacou categorias como: tempo, gênero, referências culturais, idioma, autoconhecimento e vivência ambígua, as quais foram problematizadas na discussão sobre a alteridade. Do ponto de vista teórico-metodológico, a adoção desta abordagem pode conferir aos estudos de Moreno uma leitura ampliada da relação eu-outro, considerando simultaneamente a identidade e a diferença como aspectos destacados pelos grupos. A análise desenvolvida com os grupos de estudantes intercambistas parece apontar, de um lado, para uma importante ação e revisão das práticas universitárias quanto ao acolhimento desta demanda que transforma o próprio contexto da educação. E, de outro, para uma reflexão sobre as possibilidades e limites da alteridade, evidenciando as fronteiras culturais que permeiam as ambiguidades da dimensão do vivido e da experiência de ser estrangeiro no contato intercultural contemporâneoDuring the last decades of the 21st century, the national and international academic cooperation agreements between universities have been intensified and contributed to the encounter of diversified cultural and educational realities. In this context, we question how interpersonal relationships are developed, considering culture as a mediator of this process related to otherness. The main objective of this research is to understand the meaning of intercultural experience and the alterity relationship for foreign students in academic exchange in the University of São Paulo. Based on the techniques and procedures of Jacob Levy Moreno\'s method, we proposed a dialogue between psychodrama and phenomenology to reflect the otherness theme. Two groups of sociopsychodramatic intervention were organized formed by latin americans, europeans and asians to describe and understand the senses assigned by the students to the intercultural experience. The themes circunscribed the sense of intercultural experience in terms of the used language, of the comparison between countries and of the living as a foreigner, all relevant to the dynamic of the interchange role. The results highlight categories: time, gender, cultural references, language, self-knowledge and ambiguous living, which were debated regarding otherness. From the technical and methodological point of view, this approach provides Morenos studies a wide reading over the relationship self and the other, considering simultaneously the identity and the difference as aspects highlighted by the groups. The analysis developed with the groups of exchange students seems to indicate, from one side, the need of an action and revision of university procedures about hosting the demand that transforms the context of education itself. From the other side, it indicates towards a reflection over the possibilities and limits of otherness, undergoing the cultural frontiers around the ambiguities of the living dimension and the experience of being a foreigner in the contemporary intercultural contact

European nations, built on democratic foundations, rely on participation that is inclusive of all groups. Among efforts to support social cohesion in Europe, investigating the development of intercultural attitudes—attitudes toward others on the basis of their intersecting group memberships—is a crucial area of research. Further, examining attitudes among adolescents is useful because of their growing capacity to understand complex systems, while still being engaged in formal education in which interventions aimed at developing positive attitudes are often applied. In this dissertation, I used data from the 2009 IEA ICCS (International Civic and Citizenship Education Study) to examine determinants of intercultural attitudes among adolescents (n=16,847) in seven countries across Europe—the United Kingdom (England only), Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Bulgaria, Poland, and Greece—focusing on cultural contexts and school climates. First, I established the measurement invariance of a variety of measures of intercultural attitudes to support the validity of cross-cultural comparison, using a novel approach in the Bayesian framework. Using this method, I was able to validly compare intercultural attitudes across contexts in Europe, and these findings are interpreted and discussed. Then, I examined the ways in which intergroup contact, gender, and school climates were associated with intergroup attitudes across these seven countries. I found limited evidence of an association between native-born and immigrant contact and positive intercultural attitudes. However, I found that positive intercultural attitudes were consistently associated with positive and democratic school climates, as well as with gender and attitudes toward gender equality. In this dissertation, I present these findings, as well as provide interpretation, discussion, and future directions with regard to educational interventions.Culture, Communities, and Education

Duas visões diferentes podem ser identificadas na literatura sobre codificação de raça no processo de formação de primeiras impressões (categorização social): 1) A codificação de raça é um processo automático, inevitável e obrigatório; 2) é um processo dependente do contexto, que diminui com a explicitação de pistas visuais indicativas da afiliação a grupos, mostrando que a codificação de raça não é obrigatória. O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi: medir a codificação de coalizão e raça e seus efeitos na presença e ausência de pistas visuais de coalizão, confrontar o desempenho de uma amostra brasileira com uma amostra norte-americana e comparar os resultados de homens e mulheres. No primeiro estudo, foi usado o protocolo de confusão de memória, uma medida discreta para revelar quais dimensões os participantes estão categorizando dos indivíduos-alvo. Através deste protocolo, 569 participantes de sete estados brasileiros (BA, ES, MT, RJ, RN, SC, SP), 280 homens e 289 mulheres de 17 a 58 anos, foram expostos a uma situação experimental de rivalidade entre dois times em duas condições distintas: pista visual de coalizão presente (camisetas com cores diferentes para cada time) versus ausente (camisetas com cores iguais para os dois times). Foi encontrado que a codificação de coalizão aumentou e de raça diminuiu quando pistas visuais de coalizão foram amplificadas. Esses resultados são semelhantes aos obtidos na amostra norte-americana. Além disso, encontramos, de maneira geral, semelhança entre o desempenho de homens e mulheres, mas uma sutil diferença na condição onde todos os jogadores vestiam camisetas com cores iguais. Adicionalmente, foi realizado um estudo avaliando características atribuídas por juízes aos indivíduos-alvo do primeiro estudo. Verificamos que o indivíduo-alvo mais escolhido pelos homens no primeiro estudo foi julgado como o mais forte no segundo, enquanto o avaliado como mais rico e bem-sucedido tendeu a ser mais escolhido pelas mulheres quando todos os jogadores vestiam camisetas da mesma cor. Os resultados gerais sugerem a universalidade do mecanismo de detecção de coalizões e alianças, que codificação de raça pode ser um subproduto da psicologia da coalizão e que diferenças intersexuais na codificação de informações ambientais podem ter evoluído a partir de diferentes pressões evolutivas relacionadas às dinâmicas da seleção sexual.Two different perspectives could be identified in literature about race encoding in the formation of first impressions (social categorization): 1) race encoding is an automatic, inevitable and mandatory process. 2) race encoding is a context-dependent process which decreases with the amplification of visual cues indicating group affiliation. The objective of this work was to measure the coalition and race codification and their effects in the presence and absence of coalition visual cues, to compare the results of the Brazilian sample with a North American sample, and to compare the results of men and women. In the first study, the memory confusion protocol - an unobtrusive measure developed to investigate how people use the features of others as a basis of social categorization - was used to assess encoding. 569 participants from seven different states (BA, ES, MT, RJ, RN, SC, SP), 280 males and 289 females, between 17 to 58 years old, were exposed to an experimental context of rivalry between two teams in two different conditions: shared visual appearance (each team wore jerseys of different colors) versus absence of shared visual appearance (all individuals were wearing jerseys of same color). We found that coalition encoding increased and race encoding decreased when visual cues of coalition were amplified, which implies that race encoding is not an inevitable and mandatory process. These results are generally similar with the North-American findings. Moreover, we found, in general, resemblance in men and women performances, but a slight difference in the conditions where all individuals were wearing jerseys of same color. Additionally, another study was conducted to assess features of the experimental models attributed by judges. We verified that the model chosen more by men was judged as the strongest, and the model tended to be chosen more by women was judged as the richest and well succeed, when all models were wearing jerseys of same color. The general results suggest the universality of the detecting alliance and coalitions mechanism; that the encoding by race could be a byproduct of coalitional psychology, and sexual difference in the codification of environmental informations could have evolved by sexual selection.

L’étude de notre thèse porte sur des sujets ayant vécu un traumatisme de guerre ; ces sujets ont vécu, ont été témoins, ou bien ont été confrontés à un ou à des événements durant lesquels des individus proches ou lointains sont morts ou ont été menacés de mort. Le choc traumatique que ces sujets ont subi a, en outre, la particularité de se poursuivre par des phénomènes de répétition sous la forme de souvenirs forcés ou de cauchemars. Notre recherche s’est intéressée à la question du travail d’élaboration psychique de l’événement traumatique, de la mise en pensée et du sens donné. Ce travail d’élaboration se fait en s’appuyant sur des ressources internes et externes. Nous considérons, dès le départ, que dépasser le trauma doit être interprété non comme une résistance au trauma, mais comme une capacité à représenter l’expérience subie. Notre étude a porté sur une population de femmes irakiennes ayant fuit la guerre irako-américaine et la guerre civile. Il s’agit d’une population réfugiée en SyrieThis thesis deals with subjects who have been through a war traumatism. These subjects have lived, witnessed or have been confronted with one or numerous events where close or far relatives died or were threatened to be killed. Moreover, the specificity of the traumatic shock they have been the victims of lies in the fact it keeps surfacing up repeatedly through forced memories or nightmares.Our research focuses on the question of the psychic elaboration of the traumatic event, the way it becomes a thought, and on the meaning one gives to it. This work of elaboration is realized thanks to internal and external resources.We consider from the outset that overcoming one’s trauma should not be interpreted as a resistance to it but as the capacity to represent the experience that has been undergone. Our study is based on a population of Iraqi women who fled the Iraqi-American war and the civil war. It is a population of refugees who sought asylum in Syria

Esta pesquisa intenta analisar as Redes de Apoio dos Dekasseguis, os nós que as formam, a qualidade dos vínculos que os unem, e verificar a influência destes atores sociais nas decisões do trabalhador brasileiro no Japão. Primeiramente, comentamos estudos acerca do tema Dekassegui. Em seguida, apresentamos um histórico da Análise de Redes Sociais dentro das Ciências Humanas e especificamente dentro da Psicologia, e aprofundamos nas relações entre Redes Sociais e movimentos migratórios. Passamos então a descrever as bases da Abordagem Intercultural utilizadas neste trabalho. A metodologia utilizada obedece aos preceitos da Teoria Fundamentada (Grounded Theory). Foram realizadas entrevistas presenciais e por internet, via comunicador instantâneo (MSN) com jovens brasileiros que tiveram a experiência de trabalhar como dekasseguis no Japão. Os dados revelam as impressões dos dekasseguis a respeito do povo japonês, suas dificuldades no contato com os nativos e com outros brasileiros nas mesmas condições no Japão, e a forma como sua Rede Social influencia sua tomada de decisões.This research aims at analyzing the Support Networks of Dekasseguis, the nodes that form them, the quality of the bonds that unite them, and the influence of these social actors in decisions made by Brazilian workers in Japan. Firstly, we focus our studies on Dekassegui. Next, we present the history of Social Network analysis within the Humanities and specifically within Psychology, and specify the relations between social networks and migration. We then describe the basics of Intercultural Approach we used in this work. The methodology used follows the precepts of Grounded Theory. Interviews were conducted in person and via the Internet, mainly instant messaging (MSN), with young Brazilian who had the experience of working as dekasseguis in Japan. The data shows impressions of these immigrants about the Japanese people, their acquaintance and communication difficulties with the locals and other Brazilians under the same condition in Japan, and how their Social Network influences in their decision making.

Refugees arriving in Australia undergo a number of settlement processes including adaptation and acculturation, social support and network development, and an exploration of their ethnic identity. This research examines the settlement processes of mixed marriage refugees from what was Yugoslavia who arrived in Perth, Western Australia in the early to mid 1990's. A mixed marriage is one where the couple are from different ethnic backgrounds. This research has two main aims. The first aim is to examine the processes of acculturation and adaptation, the development of social support networks, and ethnic identity, within the refugees. These processes provide a framework from which to understand the settlement process. The second aim is to investigate the initial settlement programs and supports provided by Australia's government and community groups, and to provide recommendations for future service provision. Throughout the research, the experiences of the refugees are located within the sociopolitical context of the conflict in what was Yugoslavia and their migration. The impact of the refugees' ethnicity and ethnic identity is also considered. The research was comprised of a study in two stages. The first stage involved scoping interviews with critical participants and refugees to identify key conceptual domains for the purpose of guiding subsequent interviews. The second stage consisted of multiple-case, conversational interviews with 12 mixed marriage refugees from what was Yugoslavia. Data was analysed thematically and the results indicated that the participants were moving towards an acculturation outcome of bi-culturalism. The majority have taken out Australian citizenship, were proud of and grateful for it and saw it as a security for the future. The results also indicated that ethnicity impacts on the development of social networks. The participants generally socialised with other mixed marriage refugees as they felt comfortable and emotionally supported by them. Mainstream Australians provided more instrumental support. The participants referred to a feeling of belonging to Australia increasing with participation in the community and have made substantial efforts to understand the Australian way of life. Feeling part of the Australian community was a process that was taking time. The participants described their ethnic identity as either Yugoslav or Bosnian, regardless of their ethnicity. Whilst maintaining this identity, being Australian was also important and did not conflict with feeling Yugoslav or Bosnian. The links between the various settlement processes are discussed as well as the validity of the research process and recommendations for future research and for settlement programs. The results illustrated the diversity of experiences of the participants as well as a commonality resulting from their being in a mixed marriage. With respect to the second aim, the initial settlement experience is characterised by stress, due in part to the nature of the refugee experience and exacerbated by a lack of English, receiving confusing and untimely information, difficulties in finding work and difficulties in meeting mainstream Australians. The refugees who went through the On-Arrival Accommodation program felt less supported than those who went through the Community Resettlement Support Scheme, which offered a chance to meet Australians and provided better material assistance.

Ma recherche tente d’étudier l’impact des implications des normes sociales et des impératifs législatifs sur la construction et les interrogations identitaires chez les femmes de culture arabo-musulmane en France et en Tunisie. En fait, je m’interroge dans cette recherche de thèse sur les implications psychologiques possibles du dédoublement socioculturel sur la structuration du Moi. Je me pose aussi la question de savoir si la construction identitaire chez les femmes de culture arabo-musulmane est marquée par une certaine confusion référentielle ou si elle est tributaire d’une élaboration synthétique face à deux statuts sociaux antagonistes qui leur sont assignés.Sous l’emprise interculturelle, les identités culturelles contemporaines sont marquées par des remaniements permanents. Toute culture est encore une organisation interculturelle. Pour cela, j’ai émis l’hypothèse principale selon laquelle, face à l’emprise interculturelle qui marque notre époque historique, toute identité culturelle est façonnée par l’influence du contact des cultures et des interférences normatives pour devenir encore multiple et se transformer en « Identité interculturelle ». Dans le cas des femmes, il semble que cette catégorie sociale soit doublement atteinte du fait de l’ampleur du dédoublement socioculturel et de l’emprise interculturelle sur l’identité et l’image de leur corps.Sur le plan méthodologique, l’adoption d’une démarche multidisciplinaire centrée sur une approche clinique m’a conduit, d’une part à m’appuyer sur de multiples moyens d’investigation, et d’autre part à m’orienter vers des outils proprement liés à la pratique clinique. La confrontation des analyses cliniques aux résultats statistiques vise à révéler des données psychologiques approfondis susceptibles de proposer une réponse à la problématique. Une analyse de l’organisation psychodynamique individuelle peut offrir des enseignements cliniques pointus sur les caractéristiques psychologiques des membres du groupe. En effet, l’adoption d’une approche clinique vise à identifier les propriétés psychodynamiques des membres appartenant au groupe d’étude. Enfin, ce travail de recherche ambitionne d’inscrire ce projet dans le développement d’une psychologie clinique interculturelleMy research tends to study the impact of the implications of social norms and the legislative imperatives on the construction of the identity questions among women of Arab-Muslim culture in France and Tunisia. In fact, I wonder in this thesis research about the possible psychological implications of socio-cultural splitting in the construction of the identity. I also want to know whether the building of identity among women of arab-muslim culture is marked by certain referential confusion or it’s attributed to a synthetically elaboration of two clashing social statuses.Under the intercultural hold, the contemporary cultural identities are marked by permanent remnants. Every culture is again an intercultural organization. Thus, I’ve put forward the hypothesis stating that against the intercultural hold, every cultural identity is fashioned by the influence of the contact of cultures and the normative interferences to be multiple and be transformed into “an intercultural identity. In the case of women, it seems that social category is doubly attained by the effect of the ampleness of socio-cultural splitting and the intercultural hold on both the identity and the image of their bodies.Methodologically speaking, the adoption of a multidisciplinary procedure centered on a clinical approach led me on the one hand to focus on the multiple means of investigation, and on the other hand to seek other tools properly related to clinical practice. The confrontation of clinical analyses and the numerical results target revealing deep psychological lying itself to a response to the problematic. An analysis of the individual psychodynamic organization could offer clinical teachings focusing on psychological features of group members. In fact, the adoption of a clinical approach targets the identification of psychodynamic properties of members belonging to a study group. Finally, this work of research has the ambition to subscribe this project in the development of an intercultural clinical psychology

O presente estudo teve como objetivo apresentar e avaliar a configuração de uma intervenção psicossocial breve realizada com um grupo de nipo-brasileiros que viveram no Japão, no retorno destes ao Brasil, procurando compreender a vivência dos sujeitos no que se refere às representações culturais do Brasil e do Japão e ao processo de retorno. Os referenciais teóricos utilizados foram retirados da Psicologia Intercultural e articulados a conceitos e técnicas da abordagem psicanalítica. De modo geral, o processo de aculturação no retorno foi sentido como difícil. Os participantes expressaram indignação com a conjuntura política, econômica e social do país e alguns relataram sensação de sentirem-se estrangeiros, de inassertividade e de desorientação. Surgiram representações simbólicas coletivas do Brasil como país do calor humano e do Japão como país da alta tecnologia e educação, havendo, ao mesmo tempo, um tom pessoal nas representações em função das experiências singulares de cada um. Técnicas reflexivas, informativas e lúdicas, como elaboração de cartazes, exposição de conceitos teóricos, exibição e discussão de documentário acerca da temática da e/imigração entre Brasil-Japão, foram instrumentos úteis para que as angústias do grupo pudessem ser nomeadas. O espaço de continência e interlocução favoreceu processos de identificação para que questões conflituosas relativas às vivências no retorno e à identidade cultural pudessem se tornar objeto de reflexão e transformação. Constatamos a utilidade desse tipo de intervenção psicossocial na elaboração psicológica da experiência migratória, revelando-se fundamental, em investigações nessa área, a consideração dos estilos culturais diversos e do contexto social.The purpose of the present study is to present and assess a brief psychosocial intervention with a group of Japanese-Brazilians who lived in Japan and returned to Brazil. Their return process and cultural representations of Brazil and Japan are explored. Theoretically the work is based on contributions from cross-cultural psychology and psychoanalytic concepts and techniques. Group participants generally felt return migration as difficult and expressed outrage towards Brazil´s present political, economic and social system, in addition to feeling like foreigners, unassertiveness and disorientation. Collective symbolic representations of Brazil as a country of warm human relations and Japan as a country of high technology and education also emerged, loaded with personal aspects, according to the unique experiences each one had. Reflective, informative and dynamic techniques such as preparation of posters, exhibition of theoretical concepts, display and discussion of a documentary migration between Brazil and Japan were useful tools, enabling the group to name their own distress. The area of continence and interlocution in this group helped identify processes where issues concerning conflicting experiences in the return and cultural identity could become objects of reflection and transformation. The findings indicate the contribution of such psycho-social intervention in the psychological process of the migratory experience, and the need to approach cultural styles and the social context in investigations in this area.

Saliência de papel é a importância que uma pessoa atribui a um papel em relação aos demais papéis que desempenha no seu contexto social e alguma saliência no papel de trabalhador é requerida para se realizar escolhas adequadas de carreira. A presente tese objetivou identificar e compreender padrões de saliência para uma amostra de adultos brasileiros e verificar algumas associações entre saliência no papel de trabalhador e outras dimensões do desenvolvimento de carreira em adultos. Foram realizados três estudos. O primeiro adaptou e validou para uma amostra brasileira de adultos o Inventário de Saliência, que avalia saliência a partir das dimensões participação (envolvimento ativo com atividades no papel), comprometimento (ligação afetiva ao papel) e expectativa de valor (expectativa de realização de valores no papel), para cinco papéis principais: estudo, trabalho, serviço comunitário, casa e família e tempo livre. O segundo verificou padrões de saliência nos papéis de trabalhador e familiares e especialmente no papel conjugal e parental, e seu impacto na satisfação no trabalho entre homens e mulheres casados e com filhos e homens e mulheres solteiros e sem filhos. O terceiro verificou associações entre saliência no papel de trabalhador, valores de trabalho e tarefas de desenvolvimento de carreira. Os estudos foram realizados a partir de uma coleta única, constituída de 111 homens e 388 mulheres, com idades entre 21 e 65 anos, com nível superior de escolaridade. De forma ampla, os resultados apontaram para adequação do Inventário de Saliência, que demonstrou boas qualidades psicométricas e sensibilidade às mudanças no contexto de vida e trabalho: estudo como parte integrante do papel de trabalhador e algumas mudanças nos padrões de saliência tradicionais de gênero. Alta saliência no papel de trabalhador associou-se a maior importância aos valores de trabalho em geral e, especialmente, realização profissional, bem como a maior satisfação no trabalho e maior envolvimento nas tarefas de exploração e gerenciamento da carreira. Discute-se a importância da avaliação da saliência nas intervenções de carreira, as limitações dos estudos e recomenda-se temas para pesquisas futuras.Role salience is the importance one gives to a role among other roles that one performs in his /her social context, and a certain amount of some work role salience is required in order to achieve adequate career choices. The present thesis aimed to identify and understand salience patterns in a Brazilian sample of adults and verify some associations between work role salience and other dimensions of career development in adults. Three studies were conducted. The first one adapted and validated the Salience Inventory, which measures salience from three dimensions: participation (active involvement to a role), commitment (affective attachment to a role) and value expectation (values expected to be found in a role) to five major roles: study, work, community service, home and family and spare time. The second study verified salience patterns on work and family roles, especially the marital and parental roles and its impact on work satisfaction among two groups: between married men and women with children / single men and women without children. The third study verified associations between work role salience, work values and career development tasks. The sample of participants comprised 111 men and 388 women with a college education, ages from 21 to 65 years old. The results showed that the Salience Inventory was adequate, that it had good psychometric properties and sensibility to work and life context changes: studying was regarded as part of the worker role and some changes in the traditional gender salience patterns were noticed. High work salience was associated with a bigger importance attributed to working values in general; mainly work achievement, work satisfaction and exploration and management career tasks. The importance of salience assessment to career interventions and study limitations is discussed and issues for further research are recommended.

This thesis examined 228 college students' reported use of relational maintenance behaviors and strategies and their reported perception of the degree of relational satisfaction and solidarity with the relational partners they chose to identify. The study gathered extensive data with the intention of primarily investigating the validity and reliability of measurement of relational maintenance behaviors across cultures with some attention to correlations between relationship maintenance behaviors, relationship satisfaction, and interpersonal solidarity. The study focused on refining previous measures of relationship maintenance behaviors in order to develop a comprehensive global measure. The study found that a linear combination of factors or relationship maintenance behaviors are related to relational satisfaction and interpersonal solidarity.

Professional interactions that are both functional and mutually beneficial are rare. The purpose of this study is to explore an application of a Third Culture Building (TCB) approach, a mutually constructed interpersonal process between two individuals, for Black American professionals (with advanced knowledge acquired from institutions of higher learning), to generate a new space in Predominantly White Institutions (PWis). These institutions include settings where the racial composition is becoming consistently more diverse (through past desegregation efforts). Although the U.S. has moved beyond integration and the monumental Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, racism and intercultural barriers that prevent functional cross-cultural communication still exist in these settings.
This research is directed toward answering the question: How might Black American professionals generate a Third Culture space in PWis through cross-cultural social exchange? The research builds on my previous study where the TCB approach was found to be conducive for the intercultural barriers faced by Black Americans in PWis. The research emphasizes the perspective of Black Americans and de-emphasizes the perspective of White Americans, given the body of literature that points to their adaptation and intercultural interactions in the U.S. and in international contexts.
A sample of six Black American professionals (ages 30 to 72; 4 men and 4 women) from my baseline study was invited to take part in this study. Respondents were chosen based on their backgrounds and similarity of race, to learn about their perspectives of the intercultural interactions in PWis. Participants live in the Midwest region of the U.S.
Using interpretive, critical theory, and other qualitative approaches, the discussions from a focus group and interviews were transcribed and combined with the interviewer's notes. The participants' responses were organized around TCB frameworks and the interview questions, and then reduced to codes. Two evaluators reviewed the interview data, codes, and themes.

As políticas públicas que visam dar respostas para a resolução dos problemas de saúde- doença com foco em povos indígenas tiveram peculiaridades no processo de elaboração em cada país na América Latina. Ultimamente o conceito de Interculturalidade tem sido utilizado como uma alternativa melhor para lidar com as diferenças culturais Organismos internacionais, movimentos indígenas e os Estados fazem uso do conceito assumindo distintos significados em cada caso, provando que a interculturalidade mais do que uma “relação respeitosa entre culturas”, apresenta tensões e conflitos. Neste trabalho analisam-se as noções de interculturalidade em saúde utilizados na formulação de políticas públicas voltadas para os povos indígenas na América Latina. Realizou-se uma revisão critica da literatura nas bases de dados virtuais BIREME, Periódicos Capes e SciELO para o período 1992-2012 se utilizando as palavras chaves: interculturalidade, políticas, saúde, indígena. Foram selecionados 32 artigos e 14 textos de documentos oficiais nacionais e internacionais e de organizações indígenas. Numa primeira parte da análise utilizou-se uma matriz para organizar os dados das publicações: origem da publicação, ano de publicação, revista ou periódico e dados sobre a autoria das publicações. Numa segunda parte, utilizou-se uma matriz temática para identificar e sintetizar as noções de saúde intercultural de acordo as problemáticas apresentadas nos textos. Os resultados apontam para uma utilização da noção de interculturalidade em saúde sem consenso comum, sendo utilizada sem referencial teórico de base. Relaciona-se a estratégias de atenção a saúde focalizadas em povos indígenas onde “o cultural” apresenta-se fortemente.

Notre présence de 1990 à 2010 en qualité d’éducateur spécialisé sur Beaubreuil, quartier de la ville de Limoges, Haute-Vienne, nous a permis d’accompagner, d’observer et de prendre part pendant plus de vingt années aux processus migratoires vietnamiens. Durant tout ce temps nous avons pu constater d’un point de vue psychologique que les ruptures consécutives à l’exil, puis au choc culturel né du contact avec la société d’accueil, ont fait surgir chez les individus des problématiques complexes, notamment identitaires. Dans l’exil, pour faire face aux risques psychosociaux provoqués par l’instabilité de leur structure psychique et de leur système culturel, les vietnamiens ont investi l’espace public et l’espace privé proposés par la culture d’accueil. Ces démarches, multiples, leur ont permis dans le réaménagement de ces espaces, de retrouver, de recréer, les éléments perçus par eux comme fondamentaux de leur culture d’origine, nécessaires et indispensables au travail de rééquilibrage psychique. En France, l’injonction culturelle vietnamienne d’élaboration d’autels religieux au sein de leurs habitations a conduit les personnes à réinterpréter, au sein de dynamiques subjectives, la question des différentes composantes de leur identité, personnelle et sociale, culturelle et religieuse. Les interactions entre l’injonction de la culture d’origine et l’espace proposé par la culture d’accueil ont conduit les sujets à engager des transformations, des modifications dans l’élaboration de leurs autels religieux. En ce sens ces élaborations rendent compte et constituent des analyseurs particulièrement pertinents des processus d’interculturationOur presence from 1990 to 2010 as a social worker in Beaubreuil, district of the city of Limoges, Haute-Vienne, allowed us to support, observe and take part for over twenty years in the Vietnamese migration processes. All this time, we noted from a psychological perspective, that ruptures, resulting from the exile, then from the culture shock, were born by contacts with the host society, have given rise to individuals, complex problems including identity ones. In exile, to face the psychosocial risks caused by the instability of their psychic structure and their cultural system, the Vietnamese have invested public and private areas offered by the host culture. These approaches, multiple, allowed them in the redevelopment of these areas, to find, to recreate the elements perceived by them as fundamental in their native culture, necessary and essential to their work of psychic restructuring. In France, the cultural injunction of religious altars development in the private sphere has led them to reinterpret in a subjective way the question of the different components of their identity personal and social, cultural and religious The interactions between the native culture injunction and the space proposed by the host culture has engaged transformations, changes in the elaboration of religious altars. In that way, they are reflecting and are forming analyzers, particularly relevant to us, the intercultural exchange process

A sensibilidade das crianças aos sinais emitidos por outra em situação de necessidade e mesmo a propensão ao cuidado atestam de forma cada vez mais convincente a natureza intrinsecamente motivada do cuidado espontâneo entre crianças. Este trabalho analisa o comportamento de cuidado entre crianças à luz do contexto sociocultural, das idéias infantis sobre cuidado, das metas de socialização das mães e de comparações interculturais. O estudo foi realizado na creche do povoado rural Bom Jardim, localizado no agreste de Sergipe. Participaram da pesquisa 17 crianças entre 4 e 6 anos, de ambos os sexos, e 27 mães residentes no povoado. Foi utilizado o método de observação focal do comportamento com filmagem em videotape para o registro dos comportamentos de cuidado entre as crianças. As idéias sobre cuidado infantil foram investigadas através da realização de foto-entrevistas e as Foi aplicada uma escala de comparação de metas de socialização nas mães. Os resultados revelaram que o tipo de cuidado entre crianças que teve maior média de ocorrência foi o contato afetuoso, seguido de supervisionar e ajudar. Nas categorias ajudar e contato afetuoso, o cuidado se concentrou entre crianças do mesmo sexo. Os resultados das foto-entrevistas mostraram que a foto escolhida com maior frequência como primeira opção foi a que exibia o contato corporal. As comparações interculturais com dados das crianças da vila rural Nso, em Camarões, e crianças de Osnabrück, na Alemanha, revelaram que as médias de codificação das palavras extraídas das falas das crianças do Bom Jardim durante a entrevista que se referiam ao cuidado primário, contato corporal e estimulação por objeto não apresentaram diferenças significativas. O oposto foi encontrado em relação à estimulação corporal e à interação face a face. A média da pontuação das mães na escala de comparação de metas de socialização indicou que as mães do Bom Jardim valorizam mais as metas de socialização relacionais. A análise comparativa intercultural entre as metas de socialização das mães do Bom Jardim com as de mães de outros contextos culturais - mães da vila rural Nso, Camarões; mães de Berlim, Alemanha; mães de Delhi e Gujarati, Índia revelou que a posição do Bom Jardim para a interdependência apresentou semelhanças em relação aos resultados das mães de Nova Delhi. Houve uma correlação positiva entre o número de pessoas que cuidam da criança e a pontuação para a dimensão de interdependência das metas de socialização das mães. O número de pessoas que cuidam das crianças correlacionou-se positivamente com o total de comportamentos de cuidado observados entre elas na categoria contato afetuoso e supervisionar. A pontuação das metas de socialização das mães correlacionou-se significativamente com a codificação das palavras relacionadas ao contato corporal presentes no discurso das crianças sobre cuidado. Estes resultados indicam que as práticas e valores em relação ao cuidado são passadas de mãe para filho, e reforçadas pelo ambiente cultural em que vivem. O cuidado espontâneo, observado entre as crianças do Bom Jardim, revela aspectos essenciais ligados ao modo vida da comunidade em vivem, confirmando o modo como o desenvolvimento está atrelado ao contexto e refletindo as diferentes estratégias de desenvolvimento contextodependentesChildren´s sensitiveness to another´s signals of need and the propensity for care confirm the inherent motivation for the spontaneous caregiving among them. This work analyses the caregiving behaviour among children under consideration of the children´s ideas about infant care, maternal socialization goals and cross-cultural comparisons. This study was conducted in the day care center of a rural village in the countryside of Sergipe, a state located in the northeast of Brazil. The participants of the study were 17 children, from 4 to 6 years old, and 27 mothers. Children´s behaviours during free activities were videotaped. Picture cards interviews were used to investigate their ideas about infant care. The mothers answered a socialization goals comparison scale. Results indicated that the highest occurrences of care were related to caressing, followed by supervision and help. For the categories help and caressing the care behaviours was directed towards same sex children. The picture-card chosen more frequently by the children was the one that exhibited the body contact system of care. Cross-cultural comparisons with German and Nso children, from Cameroon, revealed that the amount of words spoken by the children during the interview related to primary care, body contact and object stimulation were not significantly different among the three cultural contexts. The opposite was found for the amount of words related to body stimulation and face to face interaction. Mother´s socialization goals score indicated their preference for the relational goals. A cross-cultural analyse indicated that the Brazilian mothers socialization goals are closer to the ones of the mothers from New Delhi in comparison to the goals of mother from Berlin, Germany, rural Nso, Cameroon, and Gujarati, India. The number of people who take care of the child correlated positively with the mothers score for the relational socialization goals and the amount of caregiving behaviour among children in the category of caressing and supervision. Mothers´ socialization goals score correlated positively with the number of coded words related caressing spoken by the children during the interviews about care. These results indicate that the practices and values about care are inter-generation transmitted, reinforced by the cultural environment. The spontaneous among children from the village reveals aspects related to the way of life in the community, confirming that the development is context-dependent

Thesis (MA (Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.The current study investigates intercultural differences in suggestibility between Black, Coloured and White students at a South African university using the Creative Imagination Scale (CIS), (Wilson & Barber, 1978). The CIS and a short biographical questionnaire measuring embeddedness in traditional culture were administered to three samples (N=20 each) from students belonging to the above cultural groups. Statistical tests were applied to determine the effects of ethnicity, cultural embeddedness and gender on CIS scores. The results indicate that these three dimensions do not significantly impact on CIS scores. Implications of the results obtained are discussed and ensuing recommendations for future related research are made.

Efforts to achieve urban sustainability include ecological practices within civic society. A prominent example of this is the voluntary stewardship of green urban spaces such as community gardening. People participating in these practices – so the argument goes – draw on social-ecological memory (SE-memory) – knowledge, experience, and practice of local ecosystem management. The present study scrutinises the components and implications of the concept of SE-memory. It identifies and fills a theoretical gap by investigating and adding neglected dimensions of individual memory while strengthening the concept’s social component by examining implications of SE-memory for its actual individual carriers. The study centres on Berlin’s intercultural gardens – urban community gardens where processes of SE-memory are particularly diverse. It is based on five months of fieldwork, including intensive participant observations and in-depth interviews in such gardens. The findings show that the reviving, modifying, and transmitting of SE-memory involve expressions of individuality as well as community and comprise inter-locking streams of both individual and social memory. These play a pivotal role for individuals’ sense of belonging, social inclusion, and commitment to cultural diversity central to the intercultural gardens’ contribution to social urban sustainability as they provide space for personal memory revival, allow for people to practice their culture of origin, and offer points of manifold exchange with others.

In the last few decades, Internet mediated intercultural competence has received a great attention in the field of applied linguistics and foreign language (FL) education especially with the evolution of web 2.0 technologies and social networking sites that facilitate interaction and communication between different cultural communities and individuals. Research in the field of Online Intercultural Exchange (OIE) is extremely varied and researchers have focused their attention on various aspects of OIE such as promoting intercultural communicative competence (Belz, 2002; O'Dowd, 2003; Schenker, 2011; Muller Hartman, 2000), facilitating online relationship building (Ware, 2005; Thorne, 2003, Jin & Erben, 2007) and improving writing skills (Ware, 2005; O'Dowd, 2003), developing pragmatic competence (Kinginger & Belz, 2005). Despite the plethora of research in this area, gaps in the literature still exist. First, literature lacks studies on language learners of less commonly taught languages (e.g. Arabic), (Thorne, 2006) and more importantly most of the studies are based on western contexts mainly in Europe and the USA. Second, few studies have explored the potentials of social networking sites on OIE projects in promoting intercultural learning (Aoki, 2009; Jin, 2015). In an effort to fill the gaps in the research, this study links English language learners (Saudis) with Arabic language learners (Americans) to investigate to what extent OIE on Facebook between these two groups of learners contributes to their intercultural communicative competence (ICC), specifically, exploring how and what are the components of Byram's model (ICC) manifested in the OIE project. Furthermore, it examined the affordances of Facebook in the OIE project according to students' use, practice and perception. Informed by a sociocultural framework, this study took a constructivist mixed methods approach to analysis of data from learners' online discourse on Facebook, the researcher's journal and observations, pre-survey, semi-structured interviews, and a questionnaire. Data analysis and interpretation revealed that when students' participation were mutually compatible, the students were able to build meaningful relationships, used a range of various questioning techniques, and engaged in genuine dialogue, OIE has a great potential for developing students' intercultural competence, as many objectives of Byram's ICC model were manifested. Findings also revealed that the project has strengthened Saudi students' cultural identity as they found the space to present their culture and country beyond the stereotypical image that dominates the media. As with regard to Facebook affordances, findings showed that the semiotic design and various semiotic resources of Facebook (e.g. multimodal posts, sharing, notification, friending, semi-automated features, etc.) afford students' engagement in intercultural discussion, students' collaboration, and students' interpersonal relationship building. The study also identified some of Facebook's constraints that limited students' participation due to technological, cultural and social factors. In sum this study illuminates the nature of online intercultural communication between Arabic and English language learners, contributing to the scarce research on this population. It also uncovers the unique affordances as well as constraints of Facebook on an OIE project. Based on this study, several pedagogical implications and suggestions are made for future research in the field of online intercultural exchanges.

Using interpretive qualitative research methods, this dissertation study examines how a telecollaboration in a social networking site affects learners’ intercultural competence development. In particular, it explores the changes in learners’ understanding of the concept of culture, as well as their understanding of their own and target cultures. Additionally, this study investigates what role the medium of the exchange plays in the project. Finally, it analyzes three individual learners’ experiences in an online intercultural exchange.
Two intact classes of college-level language learners—U.S. students learning Spanish and Colombian students learning English—participated in an eight-week telecollaboration using Facebook. Each week students shared information about their own culture and reacted to the posts about the target culture made by the students in the partner class. This study analyzed 14 U.S. students’ experiences and learning, based on their pre- and post-telecollaboration questionnaires, reflexive portfolios, and pre- and post-telecollaboration one-on-one interviews.
Data analysis demonstrated that the participants experienced a notable development in their intercultural competence. In particular, participants showed a more detailed understanding of the concept of culture, as well as the reasons for cultural learning and awareness. The activity of explaining their own culture to foreigners led the participants to an ongoing analysis of their own culture and, therefore, facilitated development in their understanding of the home culture. Specifically, participants were able to take a critical stance in their analysis and evaluate their own culture from the position of an outsider. Finally, participants gained knowledge about Colombian culture and developed an ability to analyze cultural products and practices, as well as infer information about cultural perspectives from that analysis. In general, the telecollaboration enabled participants to develop critical cultural awareness and change their worldviews from more ethnocentric to more ethnorelative.
In regard to the use of Facebook, this popular social networking site proved to be uniquely suitable for a telecollaboration. It gave the participants an opportunity to create a personal learning environment that was accessible whenever and wherever they needed it. It also facilitated a bridging between participants’ learning and leisure online activities.
The three case studies demonstrated that while any type of learner can benefit from telecollaboration, their experiences and the degree of intercultural competence development are individual. In addition, the development of intercultural competence appeared to be non-linear, which demonstrates the difficulty of its assessment.
Based on the findings, the researcher concludes that telecollaboration facilitates the development of intercultural competence and, thus, is an effective way of addressing the challenge of culture instruction in foreign language courses. Additionally, the unique properties of social networking sites make them an easily accessible platform for telecollaboration projects.

Cette thèse traite, d’un point de vue interculturel, de la construction de l’identité à l’adolescence dans une Afrique en mutation. À partir d’une enquête sur le rapport psychisme/culture et l’étude des effets de l’intrication des cultures africaine et occidentale, nous avons dans ce travail démontré que la représentation de soi de l’adolescent Camerounais se trouve modifiée, car désormais coupée du référent fondateur. Par l’enculturation, la famille africaine élargie avait entre autres pour fonction d’accompagner l’adolescent à l’âge adulte en lui conférant une place, une identité. La culture, dans ce rôle de tiers, régulatrice de l’attachement, de la séparation et de la jouissance dans l’interaction fantasmatique entre l’adolescent et sa famille, et même entre l’adolescent et son environnement est sous-tendu par le référent fondateur ; c’est-à-dire par la croyance en un père imaginaire, le père ancêtre. L’ignorance, le refus ou l’oubli du référent fondateur (rupture de transmission, auto engendrement) fait obstacle à la construction identitaire, laissant ainsi l’adolescent Camerounais dans l’impasse. Dans une perspective de culture humaine, nous avons conclu que la façon dont les mélanges de cultures prennent place dans une société en constante évolution, est à entendre comme une atteinte à l’identité subjective, dans la mesure où elle entrave la fonction du père ancêtre, produisant ainsi, à la fois des effets de rupture, d’impasse, mais aussi d’ouverture dans la structuration du sujet. Ces effets, inévitablement, impliquent l’émergence de nouvelles pathologies et donc de nouveaux modes de prise en charge dans la clinique des adolescentsThis thesis deals, from an intercultural point of view, with the construction of identity in adolescence in a changing Cameroon. Based on an investigation on the relationship between psyche and culture and the study of the effects of the entanglement of traditional African and Western cultures, we have demonstrated in this work that the self-representation of the adolescent Cameroonian is modified, because it is now disconnected from the founding referent. Through enculturation, the extended African family had among other functions, to guide the adolescent towards adulthood, by providing him shelter and an identity. Culture, acting as a third party role that controls attachment, separation and joy in the fantasmatic interaction between the adolescent and his family, and even between the adolescent and his environment, is underpinned by the founding referent, meaning by the belief in an imaginary father, the ancestral father. Ignoring, refusing to accept or forgetting the founding referent (due to a failure in transmission or self-generation) is an obstacle to the construction of identity, thus leading the Cameroonian adolescent to a dead end. From a human culture perspective, we have concluded that the way in which a cultural mix occurs within a constantly evolving society is to be understood as an attack on subjective identity, insofar as it hinders the function of the ancestral father thus producing both the effects of separation and deadlock, which also allows a new perspective on the structuring of the subject. These effects, inevitably, imply the emergence of new pathologies and thus new modes of management in the adolescent clinic

This study investigated the intercultural communication competence and intercultural communication apprehension of Chinese international students. Participants in the study consisted of Chinese international students over 18 years old studying at two 4-year public universities in the southeastern United States. The study participants completed 2 online survey questionnaires: the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS), which measured the degree of intercultural communication competence, and the Personal Report of Intercultural Communication Apprehension (PRICA), which measured the degree of intercultural communication apprehension. The findings of the study indicated a significant relationship between Chinese international students' intercultural communication competence and their intercultural apprehension. Findings also noted that gender, age, number of U.S. friends, and level of education were not factors predicting the participants' degree of intercultural communication competence and intercultural communication apprehension. However, frequency of speaking English outside of the classroom was an important factor indicating differences in the degree of the study participants' intercultural communication competence and intercultural communication apprehension. In addition, the study revealed that the length of time in the United States affected participants' intercultural communication competence but not their intercultural communication apprehension.

The purpose of the study is to (1)analyze the level of intercultural sensitivity ofUnited Nations Volunteer (UNV) volunteers in terms of interpersonal communication ina multicultural working environment; (2) explore how UNV volunteers interact andcommunicate in a multicultural environment at community level by developing acognitive structure to understand differences in culture and; (3) identify the level of intercultural sensitivity of the UNV volunteers.This study is intended to make a contribution to the research on Communicationfor Development from the perspective of Intercultural Communication, particularly byusing the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) as a framework to analyze the Intercultural experiences of a number of UNV volunteers.The qualitative survey was conducted with selected UNV volunteers includingnational, international and former UNV volunteers from February 15, 2008 for 4 weeks. A total of 48 UNV volunteers from 26 countries, serving in 24 countries, participated in the survey. The methodology of content analysis was applied to analyze their intercultural sensitivity and communication skills.The results show that UNV volunteers experience a wide range of interculturalsituations, including: language and relativity of experience, non-verbal behaviour, communication styles, monochronic and polychronic time, values and assumptions.Whereas some UNV volunteers seem to be at the ethnocentric stage, the majority ofrespondents are at the ethnorelative stages, which include the acceptance and adaptationstages of DMIS.In order to improve cultural sensitivity, intercultural trainings are provided toselected UNV volunteers at headquarters in Bonn. This study points to the need for theUNV programme to design and implement structured training in intercultural sensitivity for all UNV volunteers. These trainings should not be given only at Headquarters, but in every Country Office or Support Unit as part of a mainstreamed procedure for both national and international UNV volunteers.Building the capacity of intercultural communication and intercultural sensitivityof UNV volunteers will lead to optimal outcomes in their work through improvedcommunication with colleagues, counterparts and local partners. Intercultural sensitivityis a critical aspect of communication for development. Intercultural sensitivity creates the two-way communication systems that allow communities to speak out, and byfinding their voice, communities begin to realize ownership of the development agendaenshrined in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

This thesis explored the communication and conflict style contrasts between criminal justice professionals and African American defendants that can interfere with the equitable administration of justice in the criminal justice system in Dane County, Wisconsin. The focus of this research was on the potential conflict style contrasts between criminal justice professionals and African Americans because the racial disparity in the incarceration rate was greatest for African Americans. This research project began from the premise that the racial incarceration rate disparity was caused in part by differences in cultural conflict and communication styles, and it explored the intersection of power differentials and cultural conflict and communication style differentials.
The study employed the Intercultural Conflict Style Inventory, courtroom observations, and two focus groups. One focus group was composed of professionals in the criminal justice system from Dane County, Wisconsin, and the other of African Americans who have been impacted negatively by this system. All findings were used to develop specific training recommendations to help criminal justice professionals to understand conflict and communication style preferences with the intention of decreasing the disparate treatment of members of the African American community.
The combined research strategies suggested that the primary culture of the criminal justice system was consistent with European American cultural preferences for low-context, direct, and emotionally restrained communication and conflict styles, which contrasts with the general preference of the African American culture for a more emotionally expressive engagement style. While this research did not specifically indicate that intercultural miscommunication directly impacts the equitable distribution of justice in Dane County, it did suggest that cultural contrasts may be one variable contributing to the inequitable distribution of justice.

This study analyses the reconstruction of indian schools in Roraima. I have started with the hypothesis that the exercise of citizenship of the intercultural indigenous population has assumed a prominent part in the construction, and an understanding of this is necessary. For this, in the first chapter I have discussed the historical process of the colonisation of the indigenous people of Roraima. To follow up, I have written about the fights and successes, especially in the educational area, since the middle of 1968 to the present day. In the second chapter I have made a discussion about the concept of intercultural indigenous citizenship with a view to giving a fundamental theory to the study. In the third chapter, I have focused on an analysis about the day-to-day life of the community researched (Anta II) and the three environments of the formation of the indigenous citizen, which are: the family, the community and the indigenous meeetings and assemblies. In the fourth and final chapter, I have discussed the school and as to whether the formulation of the curriculum has the social capacity to make a school an institution able to promote intercultural indigenous citizens. The Indigenous State School, Geraldo Julião, located in the indigenous community Anta II, Anta Indigenous land, in the municipality of Alto Alegre, State of Roraima was the school reference for the field research. The methodology was qualitative with a focus on bibliographical and field research; this final support being by interview and personal participation in meetings and assemblies
Este estudo analisa a reconstrução das escolas indígenas em Roraima. Partimos da hipótese de que o exercício da cidadania intercultural indígena tem assumido papel de destaque nessa construção e de que compreendê-la é uma necessidade. Para isso, no primeiro capítulo discorro sobre o processo histórico de colonização dos povos indígenas roraimenses. A seguir, escrevo sobre as lutas e conquistas, especialmente na área educacional, desde meados de 1968 até os dias atuais. No segundo capítulo faço uma discussão em torno do conceito de cidadania intercultural indígena com vistas a dar fundamento teórico ao estudo. No terceiro capítulo, ocupo-me em fazer uma análise em torno do dia-a-dia da comunidade pesquisada (Anta II) e os três ambientes de formação do cidadão indígena, que são: a família, a comunidade e as reuniões e assembleias indígenas. No quarto e último capítulo, discuto a escola em si e o currículo enquanto construção social capaz de fazer da escola uma instituição promotora da cidadania intercultural indígena. A Escola Estadual Indígena Geraldo Julião, localizada na comunidade indígena Anta II, terra Indígena Anta, no Município de Alto Alegre, Estado de Roraima, foi a escola referência para as pesquisas de campo. O caminho metodológico foi qualitativo, com enfoque na pesquisa bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo, esta última apoiada em entrevistas e participação pessoal em reuniões e assembleias

Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), an empirically supported and evidence-based third-wave behavioral approach for treatment of couples, is examined in this multiple case study. Specifically, the qualitative experiences of therapists using IBCT in their work with intercultural couples are examined through each therapist’s typed responses to open-ended questions. Each participating therapist in this study contributes by describing one case in which IBCT was used to help the couple navigate cultural differences as part of treatment. This study describes the various stressors faced by intercultural couples, therapists’ formulations of cultural differences, change processes and change mechanisms during treatment, and similarities and differences across therapists’ reports. The study concludes with participating therapists’ recommendations for treatment of intercultural couples in general, and recommendations for utilizing IBCT with intercultural couples. Lastly, implications for future research are provided.

Public health nurses are required to communicate important communicable disease and preventative health information to an increasing number of immigrants and refugees accessing the American public health system. They must also obtain information on a broad scope of topics about clients and/or their children. Little attention has been paid to the study of intercultural communication between public health nurses and their diverse clientele. The purpose of this study was to identify barriers affecting communication between public health nurses and their immigrant and refugee clients. The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity developed by Milton Bennett provided a conceptual framework for review and analysis of study results. Data were collected using semi-structured formal interviews with a network sample of 17 nurses. Analysis of the data indicated four major themes: (1) common use of a Western- European, ethnocentric communication style; (2) insufficient recognition of how the dominant culture's values, beliefs, and behaviors affect those from non-dominant cultures; (3) inadequate or irrelevant prior diversity training; and ( 4) lack of available and competent interpreters necessary for translation of information during interviews. These categories capture the essential barriers preventing effective communication with culturally diverse clients.
From the perspective of the nurses, communication barriers due to cultural or language differences result in difficulty obtaining compliance with public health mandates such as childhood immunization and medication regimens, and limit understanding of preventative healthcare practices. The results of this study provide information and insight for the development of intercultural sensitivity training for public health nurses. A training program that demonstrates cultural training theory, methods, and suggested sequencing is included. An additional sample training outline follows that offers public health nurses culture specific information regarding Hmong refugees.
