Research Abstract

This study examined the reasons as to why so many cross-cultural comparisons of interpersonal communication styles have failed to obtain results in consistency with their theoretical predictions. Three mediating variables between culture and communication behavior were proposed, namely the interaction situation, characteristics of the relationship between the partner, and self-cognition within the interaction. A causal model was proposed, and tested across cultures. Comparisons were made between Japan, China, United States, and Canada.
