  • the influence of Cultural Background on motivation for and participation in rehabilitation and outcome following traumatic brain injury
    Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, 2007
    Co-Authors: Helen Saltapidas, Jennie Ponsford
    Abstract:

    AIMS To compare motivation for and participation in rehabilitation, outcome, and distress over role changes in persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) from the dominant English-speaking culture in Australia versus those from minority Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) Backgrounds. MAIN MEASURES Motivation for Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation Questionnaire; Craig Handicap Assessment Reporting Technique. PARTICIPANTS Two groups of persons with TBI, 38 of English-speaking Backgrounds and 32 of CALD Backgrounds. RESULTS Groups had similar education and preinjury employment status, both showed positive attitudes toward rehabilitation and participated equally in rehabilitation. However, CALD participants showed poorer outcomes in several domains, including postinjury employment status, cognitive independence, mobility and social integration, and showed greater distress about changes in ability to perform certain life roles. CONCLUSIONS Differences in outcome and levels of distress over role changes may occur in those from CALD Backgrounds following TBI, independent of socioeconomic Background and access to rehabilitation. There is a need to further investigate possible reasons for this, including beliefs, coping style, and emotional response to injury.

  • managers Cultural Background and disclosure attributes
    Social Science Research Network, 2018
    Co-Authors: Francois Brochet, Gregory S Miller, Patricia L Naranjo
    Abstract:

    We examine how a manager’s ethnic Cultural Background affects managers’ communication with investors. Using a sample of earnings conference calls transcripts with 26,430 executives from 42 countries, we find that managers from ethnic groups that have a more individualistic culture (i) use a more optimistic tone, (ii) exhibit greater self-reference, and (iii) make fewer apologies in their disclosure narratives. Managers’ ethnic culture has a lasting effect on their narratives—the effects persist even for executives who are later exposed to different ethnic cultures through work experience. The effect of ethnic heritage is observed in dialogues that reflect real time interactions (i.e., Q&As) and less pronounced in the scripted, less spontaneous portion of the calls (i.e., management discussion). The capital market responds positively to optimistic tone yet does not distinguish between the optimism in tone of managers from different ethnic Backgrounds. The findings suggest that managers’ ethnic Backgrounds have a significant effect on how they communicate with the capital markets and how the markets respond to the disclosure event.
