Cross-Cultural Misunderstanding Between Japanese and Americans

Sunday, March 3rd, 2002, 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Speaker: Stephen Ryan, Yamagata University

This presentation will discuss ongoing research concerning cross-cultural misunderstandings between Japanese and Americans. The focus of this discussion is that Japanese and Americans often misunderstand each other due to the disparity of their own everyday unique cultural experiences that have become highly over learned and exist as unrecognized information or cultural scripts.
