The present study aims to explain more deeply the theory of destination image and its process of formation in culturally distant countries, specifically regarding familiarity as a factor of influence. To achieve this aim, a questionnaire was administered to 307 South Korean citizens in order to examine Koreans’ image of Spain as a tourist destination, and the level of familiarity with the destination. The findings reveal that familiarity has a moderating effect on the destination image, and the main information source that most contributes to a positive image is provided by ‘relatives, friends, and/or acquaintances’. This paper contributes to the literature by showing the importance of familiarity on image formation and has significant management implications in the context of helping to create an appropriate image of a tourist destination.

Extending the literature on social capital development in the community, this article examines the impact of diverse social interactions (in the community and the workplace) on the development of social trust in the workplace, and investigates whether their effects differ in individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Using survey data collected in Canada and China, the authors find that the diversity of one’s social interactions in the community is positively associated with one’s social trust in the workplace, and this relationship is not significantly different between the two cultures. Diversity of one’s social interactions in the workplace is also positively associated with one’s social trust in the workplace, though only in collectivistic cultures.

An examination was carried out of the influences of concealing academic achievement on self-esteem in an academically relevant social interaction based on the assumption that concealing socially devalued characteristics should influence individuals' self-esteem during social interactions. An interview paradigm called for school-aged adolescents who either were or were not low (academic) achievers to play the role of students who were or were not low achievers while answering academically relevant questions. The data suggest that the performance self-esteem of low achievers who played the role of good students was more positive than that of low achievers who played the role of low achievers. On the other hand, participants who played the role of good students had more positive performance self-esteem than did participants who played the role of low achievers.
