Studies of social norms are common in the communication literature and are increasingly focused on cultural dynamics: studying co-cultural groups within national boundaries or comparing countries. Based on the review of the status quo in cross-cultural measurement development and our years of experience in conducting this research among a co-cultural group, this paper describes a Model for Culturally Contextualized Communication Measurement (MC3M) for intercultural and/or cross-cultural communication research. As an exemplar, we report on a program of research applying the model to develop a culturally derived measurement of social norms and the factors impacting the norm-behavior relationship for members of a unique population group (i.e., ethnically Tibetan pastoralists in Western China). The results provide preliminary evidence for the construct validity and reliability of the culturally derived measurements. The implications, benefits, and shortcomings of the MC3M model are discussed. Recommendations for advancing both conceptual and measurement refinement in intercultural and cross-cultural communication research are provided.

<div>Buku ini terdiri dari dua bagian yakni bagian pertama komunikasi lintas budaya (cross cultural communication) (KLB) dan bagian kedua komunikasi antar budaya (KAB) (intercultural communication) dengan masing-masing bagian diberi pengantar. Buku ini merupakan ringkasan dari dua bagian “Handbook of International and Intercultural Communication” yang disunting oleh William B Gudykunst dari California State University. Ditulis oleh berbagai ahli komunikasi antar budaya dengan beragam budaya dengan mereview hasil penelitian dan teori-teori yang berkaitan dengan KLA dan KLB, buku ini memang dirancang untuk kelas pasca sarjana.</div><div> </div><div>Walaupun dalam judul buku ini dibedakan dua istilah komunikasi lintas budaya (cross cultural communication) dan komunikasi antar budaya (intercultural communication), tetapi seringkali pembedaan itu tidaklah tegas. Komunikasi antar budaya mencakup studi-studi yang menghubungkan komunikasi dengan budaya termasuk di dalamnya komunikasi lintas budaya. Studi KLB ini berkembang dari studi-studi mengenai antropologi budaya yang mempelajari proses-proses komunikasi dalam berbagai ragam budaya yang berbeda (karya Edward T Hall seperti “The Silent Language”, “The Hidden Dimension” dan “Beyond Culture”).</div><div> </div><div>Sebagian besar penelitian KLB bersifat komparatif yakni membandingkan berbagai budaya terutama budaya nasional, walaupun banyak juga para peneleliti yang mengartikan budaya sebagai etnis, ras, komunikasi antara generasi, able-bodied/disabled communication. KLB penting dipelajari untuk memahami KAB, oleh karena itu urutan bagian buku ini diawali dengan bagian KLB selanjutnya KAB.</div><div> </div><div>KAB merupakan bidang penelitian yang baru berkembang pada tahun 70-an. Istilah KAB berasal dari karya Edward T Hall “The Silent Language” yang dipublikasikan 1959. Dan pada tahun 1970 pengajaran dan teks KAB mulai tersebar. Teori dalam bidang ini adalah teori integratif adaptasi antarbudaya dari Young Yung Kim dalam Human Communication Research pada tahun 1977 dan volume pertama kumpulan teori KAB adalah volume VII International and Intercultural Communication yang disunting oleh WGK pada tahun 1983 dan terbit hingga volume XIX yang semakin memfokuskan pada teori. Pada tahun 1983 hanya sedikit perspektif teori KLB/KAB dan dan teori-teori formal yang digunakan, tetapi pada tahun 1995 teori KLB/KAB semakin mapan dan beragam perspektif teoritisnya. Buku ini, memberikan ringkasan state of the art dari KLB dan KAB.</div><div> </div><div>Dalam mereview penulis akan meringkas isi bab-bab dalam buku tersebut, selanjutnya akan merefleksikannya dengan menganalis isi buku dengan memetakannya ke dalam paradigma yang relevan. Hal ini dimaksudkan untuk membantu para peneliti berikutnya yang mempunyai minat untuk mengembangkan teori-teori KLB dan KAB agar dapat memahami metatheori teori-teori tersebut.</div><div> </div>

The present study points to several potentially universal principles of human communication. Pairs of participants, sampled from culturally and linguistically distinct societies (Western and Japanese, N=108: 16 Western-Western, 15 Japanese-Japanese and 23 Western-Japanese dyads) played a dyadic communication game in which they tried to communicate a range of experimenter-specified items to a partner by drawing, but without speaking or using letters or numbers. This paradigm forced participants to create a novel communication system. A range of similar communication behaviors were observed among the within-culture groups (Western-Western and Japanese-Japanese) and the across-culture group (Western-Japanese): they (1) used iconic signs to bootstrap successful communication, (2) addressed breakdowns in communication using other-initiated repairs, (3) simplified their communication behaviour over repeated social interactions and (4) aligned their communication behaviour over repeated social interactions. While the across- culture Western-Japanese dyads found the task more challenging, and cultural differences in communication behaviour were observed, the same basic findings applied across all groups. Our findings, which rely on two distinct cultural and linguistic groups, offer preliminary evidence for several universal principles of human communication.

The article is devoted to the study of issues related to the problem of “intercultural com-munication”.The complexity and relevance of this problem for the modern stage of cultur-al development is shown. Modernism is seen as an element of erosion of the functional integrity and balance of the dominant cultural system. Based on this research, a number of conclusions are made.
