Cultural conflict causes cross-cultural prejudices and opposition,which lead to cultural adaptation barriers; therefore cross-cultural exchanges must adhere to civilization dialogue on the basis of cultural awareness and self-confidence. Respect for cultural differences with equal attitude and advocate for solution to cultural conflict are needed to improve the cultural adaptability.展开更多

Stress, adaptation and growth are three crucial phrases in the process of cross-cultural adaptation, which are correlated to each other and perform in a cyclic and continual way of‘draw-back-to-leap'. In this paper, each phrase is analyzed via employing theories and illustrating examples that Todd has experienced and encountered in India to highlight Todd's process of cross-cultural adaptation. Moreover, implications will be explored by the paper and suggestions will be offered to the sojourners for their better adaptation in the host country. In addition, the paper presents the differences between American culture and Indian culture, which are to some extent, the obstacles affecting successful cross-cultural adaptation.展开更多

We investigated conflict between members of the same culture （intra-cultural conflict） and conflict between members of different cultures （inter-cultural conflict）. Intra-culturally, both American and Chinese noted self-interest as an important dimension of the cause of conflict. Inter-culturally, both American and Chinese noted cultural differences as an important dimension of the cause of conflict. The similarities between the American and Chinese dimensions were more striking than the differences. The intra-cultural findings reinforce the validity of early Western conflict theories--focusing on self-interest vs. other interest. The inter-cultural findings are partially consistent with intergroup theory and introduce new elements to conflict theory.展开更多
