Riassunto:

Written in a lively, engaging style with many examples to illustrate complex concepts, this text helps readers to understand the influence of intercultural interactions in their own lives. It introduces students to disciplines, including cross-cultural psychology, intercultural communication, and international organizational behavior, that study culture's influence on human behavior. It covers a wide range of topics, such as schooling, work, gender, socialization of children, and health. This solid treatment of basic concepts applicable in the study of all behavior and social sciences lets students see that the study of culture and cultural differences is inherently connected to the other courses they will take throughout their college careers.

Product Description: An introduction to disciplines that study culture's influence on human behaviour, including cross-cultural psychology, intercultural communication and international organisational behaviour. Written with many examples to illustrate complex concepts, it covers a range of topics, such as schooling, work, gender, socialisation of children, and health. Concepts are reinforced through examples or critical incident vignettes that help students to understand why they are studying these issues. The coverage of research methods, reliability and validity should allow students to understand the relevance of research to multicultural studies.
