Question

Jackie is often surprised when she goes to other countries to learn that people do business so differently. For instance, in meetings Jackie is used to getting straight to the point and addressing any relevant issues. However, she has learned that in many countries businesspeople take the time to first make small talk and ask about the family before finally getting down to business. To Jackie this seems to make the meetings unnecessarily long and wastes valuable time. These cultural differences seem strange to Jackie because she is relying on her:________ a. self-reference principle b. international bias c. self-reference criterion d. cultural relativism e. ethical perspectives

Answer 1

Answer:

Self reference criterion ( C )
