Dispositional Empathy and Cultural Sensitivity among Iranians, U.S. citizens, and Bicultural-Iranians Living in the U.S.
Objectives
Adapting an exploratory quantitative approach, this study explores the relationship between dispositional empathy, cultural values, and cultural sensitivity among Iranians, U.S. citizens, and bicultural-Iranian individuals.
Methods
Using self-reported questionnaires, data were collected from 226 adult participants living in Iran and the U.S.
Result
The findings reveal that affective empathy consistently outweighs cognitive empathy across all groups. Bicultural-Iranian individuals demonstrate a unique profile, blending Persian cultural norms with a preference for individualistic values, along with heightened interaction, engagement, and attentiveness. Differences in cultural sensitivity are observed, with bicultural-Iranian individuals exhibiting greater engagement, attentiveness, and adherence to individualistic cultural values compared to U.S. citizens and Iranians.
Conclusion
These insights contribute to our understanding of empathy, cultural orientation, and intercultural interactions, emphasizing the complexity of biculturalism and its implications for fostering inclusive and empathetic societies.
期刊介绍:
IJIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of theory, practice, and research in intergroup relations. The contents encompass theoretical developments, field-based evaluations of training techniques, empirical discussions of cultural similarities and differences, and critical descriptions of new training approaches. Papers selected for publication in IJIR are judged to increase our understanding of intergroup tensions and harmony. Issue-oriented and cross-discipline discussion is encouraged. The highest priority is given to manuscripts that join theory, practice, and field research design. By theory, we mean conceptual schemes focused on the nature of cultural differences and similarities.
