I'm studying the influence of context on intercultural face-to-face meetings, between international students at the university level. I would like to use the Double-Swing Model and would love to share some ideas with researchers interested in that model/subject.
Thank you!
Hi Karine,
I'm not that familiar with Yoshikawa's Double Swing Model, but you may wish to make comparisons to Berry's model of Acculturation, that have been measured as intercultural behavioural adaptation strategies in host and minority cultures.
Rudmin and his colleagues offer some lengthy discussion of the model in the literature as well. Matsumoto has provided an alternative acculturation model to Berry, which looks at stress resilience, and pre-acculturative factors such as resilience to stress.
Soke of the acculturation scales have reasonable psychometric properties. How useful they maybe will depend on what kind of study you intend to design.
Hope that helps.
Thank you Jason! I will definitely look into it. Sounds interesting!
Best,
Karine
I can only offer you, as I am currently writing a manual for management methods, to share the chapter on communication with the topics of gestures, posture, signals & their effect as well as cultural and group dynamic influences.
