dc.description.abstract | This research project investigates the relationship between communication
apprehension and conflict in the intergroup context of minority and majority
relationships. Previous studies of communication apprehension have
extensively examined its characteristics in the intercultural context of mostly the
USA and Eastern Asians cultures. However, the minority-majority intergroup
relationship represents distinctive yet understudied characteristics related to
socioeconomic status of the groups, which potentially influence their intergroup
conflicts. Furthermore, previous communication research called for more in-
depth investigation of the various regions. In the light of such considerations,
the present project examines the characteristics of minority groups’
communication apprehension and the relationship between minority
communication apprehension and intergroup conflict. The empirical papers of
this project investigate communication apprehension of minority groups of
Kurds in Iran and the Malays in Singapore. Both groups have recorded lower
socioeconomic profiles compared to their respective majority groups of Persians
and Chinese. The findings showed Kurds registered a relatively lower
communication apprehension, but Singaporean Malays are more apprehensive
compared to Singaporean Chinese. Two theoretical papers of the study examine
the nature of apprehension and anxiety in intergroup communication, and they
seek theoretical explanations for intergroup anxiety, especially in minority-
majority relationships, and the role of anxiety in intergroup conflicts. This
research project emphasizes the role of culture in formation of communication
dispositions and offers insight into promoting intergroup communication and
resolving intergroup conflict. | |
