演題：Conceptualizing, Measuring and Predicting Intercultural Competence
概 要 ： Intercultural competence (IC) can be defined as the acquisition,
maintenance and display of culture-specific skills required to: 1) function
effectively within a new cultural context and/or 2) interact effectively with people
from different cultural backgrounds. Accordingly, Ward and Kennedy’s (1999)
Sociocultural Adaptation Scale (SCAS), constructed to assess “the skills required
to manage everyday situations and aspects of a new culture” provides one
measurement of intercultural competence. Situating IC within a culture-learning
framework and investigating it in the context of cross-cultural transition, Ward’s
program of research with the SCAS is reviewed and summarized. Individual
characteristics, such as personality, motivation and language proficiency, alongwith learning opportunities, such as intercultural contact, training and overseasexperiences, are examined as predictors of sociocultural adaptation. The influenceof time and cultural context on adaptation outcomes is also considered. Finally,
the results of a recent meta-analysis (k = 66, N = 10, 672) of the correlates of theSCAS are described, and recommendations for enhancing interculturalcompetence are presented.

演題：The Century of Indigenous Psychology

概要：There are three parts of this presentation. First, I will use autoethnography
to present my personal journey from science and engineering, to psychology, tocross-cultural psychology to indigenous psychology, specifically Indian psychology.
I will present examples to argue that I have striven to become a better scientist
and human being in this journey, as I have become more open to possibilities
outside any box of knowledge. I am happy to be bewildered rather than clever,following the great Persian poet, Rumi’s advice. Next, I will present innovationsin practice, methodology, and theory, and how all of them point to the value ofdoing indigenous psychological research. I will invite your input and questions tohelp me think through this section. Finally, I would like to toast “Three Cheers” toindigenous psychology, and provide a reason for each cheer, for I think indigenous
psychology is helping us create a better world for humanity, the planet, and theUniverse. I will conclude by discussing some implications for global psychology.

演 題 ： Social Representations of History as a window into National andInternational Political Culture: Theory, Methods, and Measurement
概 要 ： A new literature on social representations of history has enabled atheoretical platform at the meso-level, mediating between individuals andsocieties, that allows conceptualization of national (culture-specific) and global(universal) political culture(s). History offers a “warrant of legitimacy” that draws
from tradition to form the basis of an historical charter that is “a widely sharedand iconic representation where selective elements of group history, its causes,and consequences have been elaborated into a quasi-legal form that gives moral
and sometimes legal implications for group action”. An open-ended method of
nominations has been used to measure social representations of world history
across 24 societies, and characterize them as present-oriented, Western-centric
tempered by ethnocentrism, and focused on warfare. Subsequently, quantitative
analysis methods from cross-cultural psychology for determining structural
equivalence have been employed in 30-35 societies to seek for (but fail to find)universal dimensions in perceptions of the most important events and people inworld history. Three key Historical Event Scales have been developed, Calamities,
Progress, and Resistance to Oppression that influence willingness to fight for thecountry. In terms of Person Profiles, Western university populations consist
mainly of Secular and Faithful Idealists, who following a liberal democratic
worldview rate scientific and humanitarian leaders highly, and dictators andstrongmen very low. Mainland Chinese and Muslim university students havemuch higher proportions of Political Realists, who see power and the ruthlessness
that goes with it a necessary part of the evolution of world history. Emergent
global political culture is a reflection of these basic orientations towards WorldHistory.
