Using statistical analysis the book shows how male Japanese professors in American colleges handle themselves in the classroom. The study is based on surveys. It shows that the length of stay in America impacts the way male Japanese professors resolve conflict. There is also a lengthy comparison between female and male professors.
Reviews
“One outcome that emerged from this data is that there is a direct correlation between the amount of time the Japanese male professors spent in America and their conflict management style… this book highlights that context plays a role in how people handle conflict situations.”
-Prof. Beth Fisher-Yoshida, Columbia University
"Hamada's exceptionally well-written book contributes to the process of raising awareness of how cultural norms impact intercultural interactions. The volume is an invaluable resource for both educators and practitioners in the fields of intercultural communication, language education, and organizational communication."
