Abstract

This study explores basic processes of intercultural perception by testing the stereotyping hypothesis in intercultural relations against the individual judgment hypothesis. Videotapes of nine inter cultural (American/Chinese) hetero-sexual initial interactions were produced and interactants were rated by American subjects on six dimensions of communicative performance: linguistic skill. apprehension, dominance, helpfulness, attractiveness, and expertness. Results of the study support the individual judgment hypothesis. Implacations of the research for cross-cultural training are discussed.
