dc.description.abstractTo test these hypotheses, the author developed a survey designed to test for different communication styles vis-a-vis authority, in the person of university faculty, on the part of students grouped by nationality to represent the different cultural types.en_US
dc.description.abstractThis study investigates response to authority on the part of students in a cross-cultural classroom setting.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe author begins with a consideration of the main theoretical division proposed in the literature of intercultural communication studies: that between individualistic and collectivistic cultures.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe author concludes with a discussion of the implications of her research for theory, and future avenues of research.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe author then constructs three hypotheses to test for the validity of the two major cultural types, and the pattern of these types' response to authority.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe results of the analysis of the survey indicate only moderate support for the separation of cultures into these two main types, as two of the three hypotheses are not supported by the final survey data. As the results on these data were inconclusive, the researcher is bound to reject the hypotheticals in favor of further testing.en_US
