In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture,
such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals. Although they are important, these visible
expressions of culture, which are taught
deliberately
and learned consciously, are only
the tip of the iceberg

Trang 2/6 - Mã đề: 142
of culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness. Thus, neither cultural
insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain "invisible" aspects of their culture exist.
Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late before being
impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening
behavior, or what we consider beautiful or ugly. These are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without
being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ from
those
we have
learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behavior as cultural in origin.
Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise
when we are unable to recognize others' behavioral differences as cultural rather than personal. We tend to
misinterpret other people's behavior, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing
that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.
Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and the
legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more visible, we
might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing
exotic
clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we would not assume that
we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet when such a man is dressed similarly
to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the
invisible cultural differences between us. As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise.

A.

Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a
hindrance
, and
may even cause harm. These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and
bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants. Of the many reasons why this should be the
case, three in particular stand out.
The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the
halo effect
. If a person has one
noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than
they
really are. Thus, an
individual who dresses smartly and shows self- confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well
regardless of his or her real ability.
Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect. This error occurs when
interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information. Hence, in an interview
situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to
confirm
the impression given by the
candidate in the first few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated
to the aptitude of the applicant.
The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers. A suitable
candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally
intelligent. Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged
as more suitable than he or she really is.

The collecting of stamps is a hobby that interest people of all ages and all walks of life.

A.
is

. If a person has one
noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than
they
really are. Thus, an
individual who dresses smartly and shows self- confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well
regardless of his or her real ability.
Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect. This error occurs when
interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information. Hence, in an interview
situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to
confirm
the impression given by the
candidate in the first few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated
to the aptitude of the applicant.
The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers. A suitable
candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally
intelligent. Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged
as more suitable than he or she really is.
Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection
procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability. Of the various tests
devised, the predictor which appears to do
this
most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety
of verbal and spatial tests.
