CULTURAL INSIGHTS COLUMN Part 3 of a series of articles written by Barbara Dixon - Student & Community Advisor - Diversity & Inclusive Initiatives. This series first appeared in the Projector in 1999. Is the Correct Answer Yes or No? A few days ago, I was having dinner with a group of friends. Someone we knew came up to the table and asked if we would mind if she joined us. Everyone said "No" and she sat down. A discussion ensued about what is the correct response to questions like, "Don't you want to join us?" Is the correct answer yes or no? If you respond by saying yes, does it mean, "Yes, I don't want to join you," or "Yes, I do want to join you,"? Many people answer yes and sit down.'Others answer yes and leave. English language specialists say that it is a matter of clarity not grammar and that people should avoid stating questions in the negative. Intercultural specialists say that either response is correct.

Yes, does not always mean yes. Agreement and disagreement are expressed differently both orally and non-verbally by different cultural groups. For some, yes means, "Yes, I heard you," not "Yes, I agree with you," or "Yes, I understand you.". For others, avoidance of answering yes Cr no to a direct question is preferred. Responses such as maybe or perhaps are considered to the most appropriate answer. An example of this would be in Japan where there are sixteen different ways to avoid saying no.

Seventy percent of all communication is non-verbal. This can rise to ninety percent when two or more people of different cultures try to communicate with one another. Does shaking your head up-and-down in response to a question mean that you agree or understand? What about shaking your head from side-to-side? Does this mean no? Once again, depending upon your cultural background, the common head movement of up-and-down can mean yes or no. Vice versa, the side-to-side head movement can be no or yes. Imagine the confusion this can lead to in a workplace environment! Is your customer agreeing to have the work done when they shake their head from side-to-side when they read your estimate? Maybe, but you will need to have the necessary intercultural skills to be able to find out.

In the second article of this series, How Do You Behave in an Elevator, it was noted that employers expect new recruits to be able to communicate and demonstrate adaptability. McLaughlin, M., Employability Skills Profile: What are Employers Looking for?, (Report 81-92-0, The Conference Board of Canada, Ottawa, 1992. Developing intercultural communication skills will provide you with these qualities as the connection between culture and communication is crucial to understanding interactions between people.

All communication is cultural. It is through the influence of culture that people learn to communicate. The ways in which we communicate, the languages, the gestures, and styles we use are all responses to, and functions of, our culture. Just as cultures differ, the communication patterns of the individuals raised in those cultures differ.

Communication goes through the cultural filters of gender, culture, age, and the various experiences of both the sender and receiver. Think of examples from your own life where cultural filters hindered communication. For example, when you were a teenager, did you speak the same language as your parents? As a female, do you speak the same language as your male counterparts? As a male, do you understand how females communicate?

Rate your effectiveness as an intercultural communicator by responding to the following statements. Circle the number on each that bet describes you. Circle 1 if you are low in agreement and 5 if you are high in agreement.

1. I am familiar and comfortable with culturally different gestures. 8. I always check to ensure that what I have said is understood by having the 1 2 3 4 5 listener restate what I have tried to communicate. 1 2 3 4 5 2. I avoid using slang, jargon, and idiomatic expressions. 1 2 3 4 9. I repeat important ideas and concepts in different ways and periodically summarize what I am trying to communicate. 3. I allow more time when communicating with a second language speaker. 1" 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 10. I try to use visual reinforcement such as pictures, drawings, and demonstrations 4. I c'onsider the impact of cultural differences in the messages being communicated to clarify the meaning of what I am trying to communicate. before I speak. 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 11. Even though it feels uncomfortable at times, I make an effort to talk about our differences. 5. I try not to judge people from their accents or language fluency. 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 12. I never make ethnic, racial, sexist, or other discriminatory types of jokes. 6. I try to respect periods of silence when communicating with others and do not I object when others do. immediately try to fill in the gaps of dead air. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5

7. When someone does not understand what I am trying to say, I repeat my communication in a different way until the other person is able to understand me. 1 2 3 4 5

Total your answers. If your score is SO or over, you are usually able to communicate with people who are culturally different from yourself. If your score is below So, you probably experience some difficulty in effectively communicating with others. Dixon, B., Uncovering Racism A Manual for Human Rights Investigators, Canadian Association of Statutory Human Rights Agencies, 1997.

Intercultural communication occurs whenever a message sender is a member of one culture and a message receiver is a member of another culture. In this interaction, people are immediately faced with the challenges inherent in a situation where another must decode a message encoded in a different culture. Effective communication can only happen when both parties accept and take into account both cultural and linguistic codes.

The next article in this series will examine some of these cultural and linguistic codes. Till then, remember the next time someone says yes or no, check it out. Yes may not mean yes as you interpret it. Maybe or probably may mean no. Shaking the head side-to-side may not be the no you may think it does. Confusing? Yes? No? Challenging? Definitely!
