Person-Situation Research Strategies for Interethnic Empathy, Interethnic Competence and Ethnic Trait Attributions in the Job Setting.

Abstract

A person-situation research strategy was used in developing videotapes depicting the responses of Japanese-Americans and Caucasian-Americans to different situations within the job setting (e.g., Job Interview, Promotion Seeking and Termination). judgments of stimulus person's affective and motivational states, response competence, and trait attributions were obtained from both Japanese-American and Caucasian-American judges. Main effects for situation and ethnicity of stimulus person, and higher order interactions between situation, ethnicity of stimulus person, and ethnicity of other within the situation were found for all categories of judgment. Results are discussed in terms of revised interpretations of previous research on interethnic empathy, interethnic competence assessment, and ethnic trait attributions. (Author)
