The first questions faced by those who are interested in cultural and personality research are as follows. What exactly do you want to study? At the most basic level, there are two kinds of research. Cross-cultural research usually refers to parallel concepts that are being conducted in different cultures or similar concepts that are being studied in different cultures. In contrast, intercultural research is a study of individual interactions between cultures (Brislin, 2000; Matsumoto & Juan, 2004; Segall et al., 1990). As we will see in a later chapter, a personality theorist believes that interpersonal relationships are the only true realm for studying personality. Most psychological studies are intercultural studies, but as the world becomes more and more a global community, the opportunities and importance of intercultural research are rapidly expanding.

Researchers from all over the world have begun to study cross-cultural differences in the countries, especially on issues relating to understanding cross-cultural differences in compliance training and interpersonal differences (eg Blickhan, Glance, & McBain 1988; Burgoon et al. 1982). Miller, Reynolds, & Cambra 1983; Neuliep & Hazelton 1986; Shatzer, Funkhouser, & Hesse 1984). These studies are used to identify the fundamental intercultural differences in strategic choices that may serve a particular country.
