“…Emotional openness was not addressed in the literature as a contributing factor to international students' help-seeking attitudes (Arthur, 1997; Brinson & Kottler, 1995;Dadfar & Friedlander, 1982;Pedersen, 1991;Wehrly, 1986), yet it was found in this study to account for the largest percentage of variance in attitudes toward counseling.…”

“…Studying in the United States poses many challenges for international students: adjusting to a new university system, establishing an identity in an unfamiliar culture, communicating in a foreign language, dealing with financial worries, being uprooted from familiar social support systems, experiencing homesickness, and feeling lonely (Arthur, 1997;Brinson & Kottler, 1995;Das, Chow, & Rutherford, 1986;Pedersen, 1991). These students have inadequate informal social support and thus feel socially isolated (Leong & Sedlacek, 1986).…”

“…Despite their high need for support, international students have been reported as reluctant to seek counseling services (Brinson & Kottler, 1995;Dadfar & Friedlander, 1982;Pedersen, 1991). In a 1998 study, Komiya, Good, and Sherrod hypothesized that college students' closed attitudes toward experiencing their emotions would cause them to be reluctant to seek counseling and that college students with greater psychological distress would thus have more incentive and would be more willing to seek counseling.…”

“…They collectively face common concerns and difficulties including racial discrimination, language barriers, homesickness, culture shock, isolation, and loneliness (Brinson & Kottler, 1995;Leong & Chou, 1996). Despite the concerns and difficulties they face in the host culture, international students reportedly underutilize university and college counselling services (Zhang & Dixon, 2001).…”

This study investigated how particular within-group variables (gender, marital status, and duration of stay in the United States) affected Korean international students' perceived preferences for counselling style (directive vs. nondirective). It was found that counselling style and the within-group variables considered interacted to affect differentially Korean international students' perceived preferences for counselling style. Female students showed stronger preference for a directive counselor and a significant interaction was found among marital status, duration of stay, and counselling style.

“…Another student could not see how white, Western counselors could identify with their problems and cultural differences." 34 The tendency for international students to avoid professional help may be related to their culture's relationship to the individualistic -collectivistic dimension. Various researchers have found that the emotional coping styles of students from collectivistic cultures (such as Asia) include projection (blaming external forces or others rather than themselves), acceptance (it is fate or God's will), religion (turning to prayer and other religious rituals) and perseverance (continue to endure despite the problems).…”

Cross-cultural interaction is growing in our global economy. Expanding maritime trade in ports around the world reinforces the need for standardized training and education to cope with new global technologies and logistics systems. Working, studying and interacting in cross-cultural settings can lead to problems of misunderstandings and misinterpretations among people having different worldviews. This paper explores culture and it's meaning for individuals. Cross-cultural dimensions are considered including conflicting information, time/space issues and resulting emotional responses. This is followed with a review of the adjustment problems faced by international students and instructors studying or teaching in other countries. The paper concludes with a discussion of the facilitating factors that help instructors ensure effective learning in cross-cultural settings. IntroductionCross-cultural interaction is growing in our society as we experience increasing cultural diversity within our communities. Our global economy is leading to a need to understand there are different ways of doing things in various parts of the world. Growing immigration to first world nations and international travel are bringing different peoples together for business, social interaction and improved quality of life. This cultural mixing creates conflicts in cross-cultural interaction, acceptance and understanding.Effective cross-cultural interaction is especially crucial for international trade and the maritime community. Improvements in cargo-handling technologies such as containerization, neo-bulks and bulk trades, and cruise ship passengers often require standard systems at ports at each end of the trade route. Such standardization often implies the imposition of one culture's technology, systems and methods on another culture.In maritime transport, cross-cultural dynamics plays an important role as many ships are crewed by sailors from a variety of countries necessitating cross-cultural interaction in ports. Thus, having an understanding of cross-cultural difficulties and taking steps to improve communication is essential for maritime personnel.
