While existing research suggests that individuals tend to be more <em>willing</em> to support those who display tears, the impact of emotional tears on tangible helping behavior, such as monetary donations, has not been examined. Understanding these dynamics could have significant implications for fundraising strategies employed by civil society organizations. Across three experiments relying on nation-wide panel data (<em>N</em> = 2647) and a quasi-experimental citizen science study (<em>N</em> = 191) conducted in the Netherlands, we tested the effects of refugees’ tearful (vs. non-tearful) expressions on people’s emotional reactions, intentions to offer refugees both dependency- and autonomy-oriented help, as well as actual helping behavior (i.e., money donated to an organization supporting refugees). Data from three online experiments unveiled a positive relationship between exposure to emotional tears and both dependency- and autonomy-oriented intentions to help, as well as donation behavior (in Study 4, two initiatives encompassing both dependency- and autonomy-oriented help), via felt compassion. Across all studies, the visual representations of refugees with tears consistently resulted in more helping intentions and donations indirectly via the perceived sadness of the refugee(s) and the subsequent felt compassion. Our findings illuminate critical questions regarding visual representations of refugees that might motivate solidarity. They also encourage future collaborative research at the convergence of art, social and emotion science, and activism. Our research also provides a platform for initiating fundraising campaigns aimed at generating resources to support initiatives focused on sharing the narratives of displaced individuals and empowering the refugee community.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 102091"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142578935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional view is that conflict arises out of national cultural differences manifested in nearly all management aspects within such MNCs. However, the mechanism of how cultural differences bring about or reduce conflict has not been clear. Communication expectancy violation (EV), an acknowledged critical link in this mechanism, has been under-studied. Hence, this study focused on EV as a potential link between cultural distance and conflict. In addition, how cultural distance, conflict, and conflict management styles, as well as expectancy violations predict socio-cultural adaptation is investigated. To narrow down intracultural differences, given the vast area that China occupies, a survey was carried out among 216 Chinese employees specifically in MNCs located in two leading southwestern inland cities of Chengdu and Chongqing. The findings reveal that (1) socio-cultural adaptation was predicted by three factors: EV, cultural distance (in terms of the company’s home country), and the confrontational conflict management style, and that (2) conflict was also predicted by EV. However, (3) the connection examined between conflict and socio-cultural adaptation was not supported. The study thus casts new light on a seldom studied multicultural context in inland China and reports new findings downplaying the usual role attributed to cultural distance and instead highlighting the significance of EV. The study also provides evidence for the institutional theory of organization, showing that how conflict is handled within MNC contexts is more important than the conflict itself, predicting a less-considered way toward better adapting to shared corporate culture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 102077"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142534952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
