Hello, we hope this post finds you well!

We invite you to participate in our research study examining identity, relationships, and well-being among bicultural/multicultural individuals. This study is being conducted under the mentorship of Mijin Kim, Ph.D. at Texas Woman's University (TWU). Please feel free to share this invitation with others who might be interested in participating.

We would greatly appreciate your participation in an anonymous online survey if the following statements apply to you:

• You are 18 years or older
• You are a United States Resident
• You identify as bicultural or multicultural*

* Being bicultural or multicultural means having the ability to navigate and embrace the values, customs, and traditions of multiple distinct cultures. 

For example:

• A Mexican American who identifies with both Mexican and U.S. American cultures
• A Black and Pakistani American who connects with both cultures
• A Kenyan immigrant to the U.S. who embraces both cultures

The survey is completely online and will take about 15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and this study is being conducted for research purposes. Upon completion, participants may enter their email address into a drawing for a chance to win one of two $50 Amazon gift cards!

This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at Texas Woman’s University (FWA00000178).

Hi! I'm Jule Deltour and I'm a PhD Student in Psychology of Interculturation at the University of Toulouse, France. I study interactions between gender and culture under Pr. Patrick Denoux and Pr. Julien Teyssier.

This research received the approval of the University of Toulouse Ethics Board, and respects European General Data Protection Regulation. All details according to your rights can be found at the beginning of the survey.

It takes 10 to 20 mn to complete. I'm also looking for volunteers for a one-hour research interview.

Thank you for your time!

I wonder anyone else feels the same here. Many Anglospheric men after causing others inconvenience instead of apologizing sincerely still have that shamelessness to smirkly flirt-wink while staring at you with zero fear. Is this nonsense the kind of rugged individualistic "confidence" Anglospherics are proud to call it "culture"?

Many Anglos would rather worship an assertive, “confident” bully than a respectful, gentle soul, whom they label as “pussies who can’t take pain”.

Hi! I'm a psychology student at Jagiellonian University and I'm conducting a study about ethnic identity.

I'm looking for young adults (18-30 yo) that were born/raised in the US but their parents are immigrants from two different countries outside of the US.

I'd like to interview such a person for the analysis in my master's thesis.

The interview would be online via video call.

If you're interested in participating or know anyone that would be, let me know!

know quite a few students at my university have dated international exchange students and immigrant students. I’m curious if any of you have ever done so and what country was your boyfriend or girlfriend from?

What does it mean to you to take up space, specifically in an international or intercultural setting? How do you balance being your authentic self in a cultural space that is not your own with being respectful of that space, its inhabitants, and their desires?

There's no right answer here. I'm interested in everyone's thoughts.

Reading the posts, I thought that this may be of interest to the community. It's a short video covering the topic of intercultural communication in business with a focus on the Middle East. I hope you like it:

Is anyone a foreign born that lives or lived in the US and is willing to do a 30 minute interview for my college assignment? Please help!!

Hii everyone! So I’m studying intercultural communications and I have absolutely no idea what topic to chose as a thesis work material? Can anyone pls give some ideas what topics would be both interesting and informative? Thanks!!

Hello everyone. I’m looking for some inspiration for a school project about intercultural communication. Has this community been in discussion about anything tiktok related? Sorry if this is not the right subreddit or a dumb post.

Any suggestions on learning materials on leading a cross cultural team?

Hi everyone, I’m hoping this is the right place to ask this. I (single female not interested in any kind of romance) am in the US and recently an Iranian family moved in next door. The husband/father of the family has brought over bananas before and brought some treats for norwuz yesterday. I am not familiar with Iranian culture so I accepted because from the American perspective it is the polite thing to do. I googled a little about the holiday and learned that traditional gifts for the holiday would be flowers, pastries, and sweets so I bought and delivered a bit of each of those. In my mind it was a gesture of welcoming the family to the neighborhood. Today my neighbor gave me a necklace and shirt which was very kind but I think there were more intimate implications in the exchanges than I intended and am comfortable with. Especially when he told me not to mention it to his wife, I tried to give it back but he would not take them.

Should I have not accepted any of the gifts or given the norwuz gifts? Is there a proper way for me to return to the neighborly, platonic but cordial, dynamic?

Hello everyone！I'm a student majoring in Business English. This semester our group has a course project about interculture communication, and we need a special partner to join in our project. Your participation will help us greatly! Anyone interested can contact me!

Hello, I am writing an intercultural paper. I was curious to know if anyone would want to participate. It would be roughly around 15 questions. Thank you in advance!

I need help with a class project! I need 2 people from outside of the USA to answer the following questions:

1. How do you define yourself in terms of race, ethnicity or national origin?
2. How do you describe the structure of your family as you were growing up?
3. What is the primary language you speak in your home?
4. How do you describe the primary language spoken in your home?
5. How might you describe your views regarding the importance or purpose of education?
6. How might you describe customs you follow that are not reinforced in our schools?
7. How might you describe the importance of faith, religion, or spirituality in your family?
8. How might you describe your views of racial, ethnic, or national origin to people different from you?
9. How might you describe people of a sexual orientation different from yours?
10. How might you describe gender roles in your family?
11. How might you describe your worldview or purpose in life?
12. What is there about you and members of your cultural group that you believe to be important but that I didn't ask about?

Thanks so much, everyone!

What are your thoughts on the merging of cultures? Example: pidgin languages, appropriation, fusion cuisine, etc.

We have a podcast on multiculturalism, and want feedback from listeners on these types of topics. Spread the word if you know someone interested!

Interculture Podcast

I'm trying to find like minded people for brainstorming, exchange ideas and to grow with

I'm interested in health - curious of what goes into it (food, exercise, breath, relationships, thoughts, presence, spirituality, feelings, goals, etc etc) and how it affects our lives as individuals and as a community and people,

I'm also interested in communication, how we use so much more than words when we communicate and am curious in how we can become better at avoiding misunderstandings

and in community - locally and cross borders (of nations, cultures, class, etc) - how we can develop and use our different communities to a larger extent and better our individual and societal health from it

What we could benefit to learn as human beings as tools to handle our environment and excel, but are not taught in school or from our culture

Anyone interested in some explorative conversations?

I feel compelled to write about intercultural experiences every now and then and I would love any critique that anyone may feel compelled to share with me.

As someone who moved to a different country, I'm fascinated by how we perceive and experience culture. Drive-Thru Culture is my latest post and it's about looking at one's own culture through the eyes of a non-native and discovering things in unexpected places.

I’m sharing the link to an event page to publicize this upcoming Sunday’s online meeting to talk about the value of Japanese martial arts.

Spreading out the word about this meeting would be appreciated.
