Comparisons with other studies will be made to determine the similarities and differences between Turkish attitudes and the attitudes of people in other countries.

Management Approaches

The results of management functioning investigations in American and Croatian companies are presented in this paper, with the special focus on similarities and differences between two management approaches. The conclusions and information we have reached in this work are based on the direct survey of 231 managers from 25 Croatian companies and 77 managers from 12 US companies. In the paper the basic data on managers, according to the survey, are presented, such as: their sex structure, age structure, level of education, level of management. The emphasis of the research has been directed on management approaches. Besides management approaches, some more management aspects, which have significantly influenced management approaches, are deal with in the work. It is firstly related to the knowledge and skills which might be possessed by managers, because management approaches depend a great deal on managers’ knowledge and skill level. Management approaches are also influenced by desirable and undesirable treats of managers as well as by their willingness and unwillingness to delegate tasks. The way a manager organises time influence his management approach, but it is also a consequence of particular management approach. According to my research it is possible to conclude that Croatian managers do not differ greatly from their American colleagues.

Similarities And Differences

The oral form-discrimination abilities of 18 orally educated and oriented deaf high school subjects were determined and compared to those of manually educated and oriented deaf subjects and normal-hearing subjects. The similarities and differences among the responses of the three groups were discussed and then compared to responses elicited from subjects with functional disorders of articulation. In general, the discrimination scores separated the manual deaf from the other two groups, particularly when differences in form shapes were involved in the test. The implications of the results for theories relating orosensory-discrimination abilities are discussed. It is postulated that, while a failure in oroperceptual functioning may lead to disorders of articulation, a failure to use the oral mechanism for speech activities, even in persons with normal orosensory capabilities, may result in poor performance on oroperceptual tasks.

Abstract. Nonhuman animals are typically excluded from the scope of social psychology. This article presents animals as social objects – targets of human social responses – overviewing the similarities and differences with human targets. The focus here is on perceiving animal species as social groups. Reflecting the two fundamental dimensions of humans’ social cognition – perceived warmth (benign or ill intent) and competence (high or low ability), proposed within the Stereotype Content Model ( Fiske, Cuddy, Glick, & Xu, 2002 ) – animal stereotypes are identified, together with associated prejudices and behavioral tendencies. In line with human intergroup threats, both realistic and symbolic threats associated with animals are reviewed. As a whole, animals appear to be social perception targets within the human sphere of influence and a valid topic for research.
