文化心理对跨文化交际影响的研究

The effects of cultural psychology on cross-cultural communication

跨文化交际不仅受语言因素的影响,也受一些非语言因素,如文化心理的影响。文化心理是一个民族共同的思想组合及精神结构,它反映了一个民族共同的文化传统,决定了该民族的特征与行为模式。跨文化交际中,文化心理的影响往往使交际双方在认知和情感上难以达成共识。民族中心主义、偏见和文化定势这三种文化心理因素就以各种态度和思维模式给跨文化交际带来障碍。因此在跨文化交际中必须将文化心理因素纳入有效考虑范围,以避免交际失误。

Cross-cultural communication is affected not only by linguistic factors, but also by such non-linguis- tic factors as cultural psychology. Cultural psychology is the combination of a nation＇ s common thoughts and spiritual structure, which reflects a corporate cultural tradition of this nation and decides the national character- istics and behavioral patterns. Because of the effects of cultural psychology,it is usually difficult for cross-cul- tural communicators to reach agreement on cognition and emotion. Ethnocentrism, prejudice and cultural stereotype are just three factors of cultural psychology which may bring obstacles to communication in various attitudes and thinking modes. So in the cross-cultural communication, cultural psychology factors must be taken into account in order to avoid communication failure
