Title: Children’s Use of Gaze and Limb Movement Cues to Infer Deception
Summary:
“A sample of 96 children from kindergarten, 2nd, 4th, and 6th grades judged the truthfulness of peers who varied in
gaze and limb movement while providing verbal communications. Results indicated that children attributed greater
lying to the peers who displayed indirect rather than direct gaze and active rather than non-active limb movement.
The use of these cues was more evident in 4th- and 6th-grade children than it was in kindergarten and 2nd-grade
children. Pilot studies indicated that adults and children as young as 5-6 years of age associated indirect gaze and
active limb movement with anxiety. The findings are discussed with respect to children's theory of mind, concepts of
lying, understanding of display rules, and learning of physiological cues associated with deception.”

Title: Effects of Nonverbal Behavior on Perceptions of Power Bases
Jueanville
2
Summary:
“Among a sample of U.S. students, the effects of 3 forms of nonverbal behavior (facial expression, visual behavior,
and body posture) on perceptions of power bases (reward, coercive, legitimate, referent, expert, and credibility) were
investigated. In contrast to previous investigations of nonverbal behavior and power, a precise construct definition
and reliable and valid operational definitions of power were used, and specific perceptions of power bases were
examined. A relaxed facial expression, compared with a nervous facial expression, increased the ratings for referent,
reward, legitimate, expert, and credibility power bases. Also, direct eye contact yielded higher credibility ratings than
indirect eye contact.”

Title: Coping with Differences in Culture and Communication in Healthcare
Summary:
Internationally recruited nurses (IRNs) provide valuable resources to address existing and predicted nurse shortages.
Once in employment many IRNs experience difficulties due to differences in language and culture in their new
country of practice. Barriers to effective communication have implications for all nurses but particularly those
functioning in a second language and culture. This article suggests strategies for IRNs, UK-educated nurses, managers
and policy makers to improve the experience of IRNs and to ensure patients receive the best possible care.

Title: Japanese Companies in Germany: a case study in cross-cultural management
Summary:
“From a series of qualitative interviews with Japanese managers and German managers and workers in thirty-one
Japanese-owned companies in the Dusseldorf region of western Germany, this article discusses differences in cultural
patterns and organizational styles between the German and Japanese employees and the problems these pose for
communication, cooperation, and morale. First, we deal with cultural contrasts: language issues, interpersonal styles
(personability and politeness), and norms regarding the taking of responsibility. Second, we examine the impact on
cross-nationality relations of established organizational practice: for example, German specialism vs. Japanese
generalism; direct and vertical vs. indirect and incremental decision making. We also discuss efforts by these firms to
find compromise systems that would meet the needs and interests of both sides. . . . In the labor view, Japanese firms
overall do no better or worse than comparable German firms.”
