COMMUNICATION, COOPERATION, AND NEGOTIATION IN CULTURALLY HETEROGENEOUS GROUPS

Abstract

Studies concern the development of basic data on semantic features and culturally significant behavior, the dynamics of interactions in negotiation and bargaining, the effect of task structure on group climate and group interaction, and relevant methodological issues. The two major studies which are currently in progress concern a comparison of training by means of Culture Assimilators and essays, as well as a concurrent comparison of training materials developed by means of the methods which have been developed by Triandis and by Osgood. The second major study involved the development of an Iran Culture Assimilator and a field experiment to evaluate its effect on interactions of Americans and Iranians in cooperative and negotiation tasks.
