Abstract

Abstract : Intercultural relations (ICR) training programs are designed to meet the following objectives: to extend United States diplomacy overseas, to increase job effectiveness, and to increase tour satisfaction. The primary purpose of the research described in this report was to examine the degree to which such training programs (Overseas Duty Training (ODT), Personnel Exchange Program (PEP) training, and Human Resource Development Center (HRDC) ICR Specialist Training) were having desired effects in terms of attitudinal and long-range behavioral change. Since much training research is characterized by methodological and design inadequacies, an additional purpose was to develop and utilize a methodological approach which employed scientific standards of experimental design. This approach was designed to provide information which could be used to improve and strengthen ICR training and to provide an objective assessment of training effectiveness and impact.
