Um Estudo de Valores como Competências Interculturais: Uma Fonte Potencial de Auto-estima?
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar como indivíduos avaliam a si mesmos e as ingroup em uma série de valores que variavam em importância cultural entre grupos de asiáticas-americanas e européias-americanas. Especificamente foram examinadas diferenças interculturais nos níveis médios de competências baseadas culturalmente, e explorou-se também se haviam diferenças interculturais nas quais facetas destas competências estavam associadas a afetos positivos. Participaram do estudo 85 estudantes universitárias asiáticas–americanas (AA) e 83 européias-americanas (EA). A avaliação de competência grupal foi mais pertinente ao grupo de AA do que ao grupo EA, ao passo que a avaliação de competência independente foi mais pertinente ao grupo de EA do que ao AA. Isto ocorreu tanto em nível de competência média como na predição de afetos positivos. Implicações para conselheiros são discutidas.
