Communication predispositions influence interactions between individuals from different cultures. Three such predispositions have been found to affect behavior in intercultural contexts: Apprehension about intercultural communication, ethnocentrism, and intercultural willingness to communicate. This study examined differences between men (n = 130) and women (n = 175) on those three predispositions. The analysis showed that men reported experiencing higher apprehension about intercultural communication, being more ethnocentric than women, and being less willing to communicate interculturally than women. Implications of these findings are discussed.
沟通倾向会影响来自不同文化背景的个体之间的互动。已发现三种这样的倾向会影响跨文化背景下的行为：对跨文化沟通的担忧、民族中心主义以及跨文化沟通意愿。本研究考察了130名男性和175名女性在这三种倾向上的差异。分析表明，男性报告称在跨文化沟通方面的担忧程度更高，比女性更具民族中心主义，并且比女性更不愿意进行跨文化沟通。文中讨论了这些研究结果的意义。
