This dissertation uses empirical (questionnaire & interview) data to contribute to the theoretical conceptualization of intercultural competence in foreign language learners. Specifically, this study describes and compares how native speakers (NSs) and non-native speakers (NNSs) of Arabic perceive a variety of cultural products, practices, and perceptions associated with Morocco. What is more, the study also explores the expectations that NSs and NNSs hold of themselves and each other in inter- and intra-cultural encounters. The study explores in depth the following assumptions that frequently shape pedagogical practices: (1) That NSs expect NNSs to comply with the NSs perspective when the NNSs interact with NSs; and (2) that NNSs feel obliged to adopt NSs norms of cultural appropriateness and furthermore desire to meet these obligations. The study included 52 Moroccan NSs of Arabic and 31 American college students learning Arabic in the first semester at a large Midwestern research university. Learners of Arabic rated 148 and Moroccans rated 117 items in surveys about cultural norms and projected & preferred behaviors; they also participated in face-to-face interviews. Findings included the following: (1) Learners reported inclinations toward cultural behaviors in Arabic that were significantly misaligned with the behaviors that Moroccans reported they would (or would not) engage in. (2) Moroccans made allowances with regard to the extent to which they expect Americans to conform to Moroccan cultural norms; however, they also wished that Americans learn about these cultural norms and refer to this knowledge in their interactions as part of their developing intercultural competence. (3) Learners when interviewed indicated a potential readiness to conform so as not to arouse offense but in their survey responses indicated that they would ultimately not be likely to do so. Instead, they preferred cultural behaviors that they found comfortable regardless of their compliance with Moroccan cultural norms.

The Handbook of Arab American Psychology is the first major publication to comprehensively discuss the Arab American ethnic group from a lens that is primarily psychological. This edited book contains a comprehensive review of the cutting-edge research related to Arab Americans and offers a critical analysis regarding the methodologies and applications of the scholarly literature. It is a landmark text for both multicultural psychology as well as for Arab American scholarship. Considering the post 9/11 socio-political context in which Arab Americans are under ongoing scrutiny and attention, as well as numerous misunderstandings and biases against this group, this text is timely and essential. Chapters in the Handbook of Arab American Psychology highlight the most substantial areas of psychological research with this population, relevant to diverse sub-disciplines including cultural, social, developmental, counseling/clinical, health, and community psychologies. Chapters also include content that intersect with related fields such as sociology, American studies, cultural/ethnic studies, social work, and public health. The chapters are written by distinguished scholars who merge their expertise with a review of the empirical data in order to provide the most updated presentation of scholarship about this population. The Handbook of Arab American Psychology offers a noteworthy contribution to the field of multicultural psychology and joins references on other racial/ethnic minority groups, including Handbook of African American Psychology, Handbook of Asian American Psychology, Handbook of U.S. Latino Psychology, and The Handbook of Chicana/o Psychology and Mental Health.

Download and read online ebook Trust in Military Teams write by Professor Neville A Stanton. This book was released on 2012-10-01. Trust in Military Teams available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The objective of this book is to report on contemporary trends in the defence research community on trust in teams, including inter- and intra-team trust, multi-agency trust and coalition trust. The book also considers trust in information and automation, taking a systems view of humans as agents in a multi-agent, socio-technical, community. The different types of trust are usually found to share many of the same emotive, behavioural, cognitive and social constructs, but differ in the degree of importance associated with each of them. Trust in Military Teams is written by defence scientists from the USA, Canada, Australia and the UK, under the auspices of The Transfer Cooperation Programme. It is representative of the latest thinking on trust in teams, and is written for defence researchers, postgraduate students, academics and practitioners in the human factors community.

Download and read online ebook Arab Cultural Awareness write by U. S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. This book was released on 2006-12-04. Arab Cultural Awareness available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This handbook is designed to specifically provide the trainer a 'hip pocket training' resource. It is intended for informal squad or small group instruction. The goal is to provide soldiers with a basic overview of Arab culture. It must be emphasized that there is no "one" Arab culture or society. The Arab world is full of rich and diverse communities, groups and cultures. Differences exist not only among countries, but within countries as well. Caveat: It is impossible to talk about groups of people without generalizing. It then follows that it is hard to talk about the culture of a group without generalizing. This handbook attempts to be as accurate and specific as possible, but inevitably contains such generalizations. Treat these generalizations with caution and wariness. They do provide insight into a culture, but the accuracy and usefulness will depend on the context and specific circumstances.
