Ronald Fischer & Maria Cristina Ferreira- National Culture, Organizational Practices, and Work Behaviors

The main objective of the project is to explore the relationship between national culture, organizational practices and attitudes and work behaviours by individual employees. We explore these effects using a multi-level framework. By measuring and testing proposed relationships at the appropriate theoretical level using multi-level modeling we address various shortcomings of previous cross-cultural research. We also intend to broaden current cross-cultural frameworks by including additional cultural variables overlooked in previous research. Finally, our aim is to include a more diverse set of cultures in order to enhance the validity of our findings.

David P. Schmitt - The International Sexuality Description Project

The International Sexuality Description Project 2 is a survey study that includes measures of the Big Five, sociosexuality, sex-role ideology, HIV/AIDS risk factors, and sexual aggression. We hope to have collaborators from over 50 nations administer the survey to 200 men and 200 women between September of 2003 and December of 2004. All ISDP-2 collaborators will be co-authors on at least 3 academic journal articles.

Norman Sundberg and his colleague at the University of Oregon, Holly Arrow, are starting to investigate "International Identity." We would welcome information from others about the concept and its relation to other similar concepts, its measurement, and its antecedents and concequences. We would particularly like to learn about other member's research along these lines. Sundberg's e-mail address is nds@oregon.uoregon.edu.

Romie Littrell - Study of Cross-National Leadership Behaviour Preferences

In a series of studies being undertaken defining preferred leader characteristics using the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire XII, the definition of the traits of the “ideal leader” is being compared across national cultures. In researching the relationships between leadership and culture one takes perhaps the areas of business management, psychology, and sociology in which we find the largest diversity of opinion combined with a general paucity of experimental research. Additional studies are planned to correlate the language of the LBDQ XII and responses from multilingual subjects, and defining the points of behaviour on the leadership-management continuum.

Gisela Trommsdorff, Wolfgang Friedlmeier, and Esther Schaefermeier - Subjective Child-Rearing Theories in Cultural Perspective

Mothers and kindergarten-teachers from the Republic of Korea, Brazil, and Germany are interviewed about their child-rearing theories and their generalised attitudes to self-other relations. Cultural differences and similarities between these two concepts and their relationships are analysed. In addition, the function of the child-rearing theories for the social development of children is tested.
