This study sought to test the underlying assumption of face-negotiation theory that face is an explanatory mechanism for culture’s influence on conflict behavior. A questionnaire was administered 768 participants in 4 national cultures (China, Germany, Japan, and United States) asking them describe interpersonal conflict. The major findings this are as follows: (a) cultural individualism-collectivism had direct indirect effects styles, (b) independent self-construal related positively with...

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) and community-engaged have been established in the past 25 years as valued approaches within health education, public health, other social sciences for their effectiveness reducing inequities. While early literature focused on partnering principles processes, decade, individual studies, well systematic reviews, increasingly documented outcomes community support empowerment, sustained partnerships, healthier behaviors, policy changes,...

Objectives . A key challenge in evaluating the impact of community-based participatory research (CBPR) is identifying what mechanisms and pathways are critical for health equity outcomes. Our purpose to provide an empirical test CBPR conceptual model address this challenge. Methods three-stage quantitative survey was completed: (1) 294 US projects with federal funding were identified; (2) 200 principal investigators completed a questionnaire about project-level details; (3) 450 community or...
Background: Since 2007, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) Policy Research Center (PRC) has partnered with Universities New Mexico and Washington to study science community-based participatory research (CBPR). Our goal is identify facilitators barriers effective community-academic partnerships in Indian other communities, which face health disparities. Objectives: We have described herein scientific design our Institutes Health (NIH)-funded (2009-2013) lessons learned by having...
In recent decades, there has been remarkable growth in scholarship examining the usefulness of community-engaged research (CEnR) and community-based participatory (CBPR) for eliminating health inequities.This article seeks to synthesize extant literature systematic reviews, scoping other related reviews regarding context, processes, designs interventions underlying CEnR that optimize its effectiveness. Through a review, we have utilized an empirically derived framework CBPR map this identify...
The construct of individualism–collectivism (IND-COL) has become the definitive standard in cross-cultural psychology, management, and related fields. It is also among most controversial, particular, with regard to ambiguity its dimensionality: Some view IND COL as opposites a single continuum, whereas others argue that two are independent constructs. We explored issue through seven different tests using original individual-level data from 50 studies meta-analytic 149 empirical publications...
About 40% of all health burden in New Zealand is due to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes/obesity. Outcomes for Māori (indigenous people) are significantly worse than non-Maori; these inequities mirror those found indigenous communities elsewhere. Evidence-based interventions with established efficacy may not be effective without addressing specific implementation challenges. We present an framework prevent treat chronic conditions other communities. The He Pikinga Waiora...
