“…For an intelligent though revealingly unsatisfying exploration of the difficulty of using such techniques to anticipate unusual, surprising, or rare events see King and Zeng (2001). (Boiney & Foster, 2013;Egeth et al, 2014). 7 ICEWS technologies for coding and tracking trends in event and sentiment data were transitioned.…”

President Franklin Roosevelt famously declared that December 7, 1941, the date of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, would "live in infamy." He meant that the surprise onslaught against the American fleet was so dishonorable that Japan would forever suffer from association with it. But what shook the American public to its core was not the perfidy of Imperial Japan but the shock of so severe a challenge to the country's ability to defend itself and the lack of foresight it seemed to reveal. For decades, controversy would rage over whether the defeat at Pearl Harbor could have been avoided.Although some charged Roosevelt with knowingly allowing the attack to help his campaign to enter the war against Germany, most critics treated it as a failure of intelligence analysts who had accurate reports of the impending attack but did not turn them into the timely warnings that the political echelon would heed (Wohlstetter, 1962).

“…The cultural misunderstandings and outright failures of the U.S. and its allies in the second Iraq war (2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011) and the Afghanistan conflict (2001-2021) motivated the U.S. military to fund an intense cultural research program that was undertaken in DEOMI, the Army Research Institute, the Defense Language and National Security Education Office and other labs (Glazer, 2020;Glazer, Hamedani et al, 2014), including those in other NATO nations. The primary goal of this second wave of culture research focused on training military personnel to interact effectively with military personnel and civilians who they encounter in expeditionary actions (e.g., Egeth et al, 2014;Glazer, 2020). At the time of this writing, the second wave of U.S. military research has concluded (Fosher & Mackenzie, 2021).…”

Over the course of 50 years, the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology (IACCP) and its flagship journal, Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology (JCCP), have been lynchpins in the relationship between theory and practice. We provide evidence that cross-cultural psychology, as practiced by members of the IACCP, performs an essential bridging function between theoretical psychology and applied psychology. Employing survey data of IACCP members, bibliometric analyses of core members’ publication history, and of the citation patterns of JCCP and other journals, we reveal the extent to which IACCP members contribute to applied psychology and how JCCP contributes to the research published in applied psychology journals. We further review strategies and controversies extant in teaching theoretical and applied cross-cultural psychology to university undergraduate and graduate students in the service of preparing them to live and work in a globalized world. Finally, we look at research traditions, issues, and prospects of a key applied field to which cross-cultural psychology contributes—cross-cultural training.
