“…This framework can be further enriched by adding political and social dimensions so that differences resulting from religion, form of government, and other socio-political institutions and practices can also be captured. Some critical incidents are already available (Bhawuk, Munusamy, & Sakuda, 2007). As discovered in the Contrast American Method (Stewart, 1966), a cross-cultural training method where Americans are asked to compare host cultures to their home culture, training is most effective in situations where cultural differences can be contrasted.…”

“…Thus, we felt that we could move around in the society freely, despite being foreigners and new to the society, and there were no hierarchical or other barriers in our way despite being a poor graduate student with no status in the community. The acceptance ameliorated the feeling of being a peon, dhobi (washerman), janitor and driver, since I did these chores in the United States, which I did not have to do in Nepal (Bhawuk, Munusamy & Sakuda, 2009). …”

Living in a multiculturalNational Academy of Psychology (NAOP) India Psychological Studies (March 2010) 55(1):35 -45 Researchers have consistently identifi ed the three domains of cognition, affect and behavior (Triandis, 1977;Brislin, 1989;Landis & Bhawuk, 2004;Bhawuk, Landis & Lo, 2006;Bhawuk, 2009) that need to be addressed in intercultural training programs to prepare people to be effective in intercultural interactions. However, not much exists in the literature that addresses the affective issues faced by sojourners. In the acculturation literature there is more research on acculturative stress that captures the affective issues faced by immigrants (Berry, 2004) and refugees (Fangen, 2006); however, they are often presented as the plight of people facing marginalization, and others are assumed to be following the cultural learning paradigm of acculturation (Berry, 2004). An attempt is made to fi ll this lacuna in the literature by presenting positive and negative experiences of a successful immigrant and sojourner.Another critical topic that is neglected in both intercultural training and acculturation literature pertains to the notion of humiliation (Hartling & Luchetta, 1999; 1 Paper presented at the 3rd Annual Meeting on Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies, September 16-18, 2004

“…On the other hand, collectivist values may not be detrimental to economic development due to the presence of "team-think" which has four characteristics: interdependence, making sacrifice for the in-group, relational social exchange, and being norm driven, lead to conformity, institutionalization, collective goal congruency, and national goal congruency, which are useful in the early phases of economic development (Bhawuk, Munusamy, Bechtold, and Sakuda, 2010).…”

In furthering the discussion on the linkage between economic development and culture, this paper attempts to answer the question: “Can a society's culture be transformed to stimulate economic development?” This paper uses Singapore as a case study. It traces the country's restructuring of cultural values to foster economic growth and development which allowed Singapore to grow from a small island state with a sagging economy and no natural resources, to become one of the most respected and widely recognized developmental models of the modern era. This study shows that social controls can help newly developing countries in creating political stability and social cohesion that allows for rapid economic development. However, the negative effects of such measures lead to the creation of a compliant society that lacks creativity and innovation, is risk averse in entrepreneurial activity, and prone to talent depletion.
