Presentation transcript:

Developing cultural awareness in short-term missionaries Howard Culbertson Southern Nazarene University

Short term versus long term Short-termers generally do not get second chance opportunities

How do we get beyond . . . ? Don’t drink the water Don’t go out alone; groups of 4 with 1 being a male Don’t smile at males on the street whom you do not know

How do we keep from . . . ? Hardening stereotypes Reinforcing ethnocentrism

Can we make sure they do not come back saying . . . ? “I need to be a great deal more thankful for all that I have” “They’re just like us”

CQ What are possible phrases for which “CQ” could be an acronym?

Culture quotient Cultural intelligence

CQ= culture quotient Culture quotient / Cultural intelligence Came into use about 4 years ago (Harvard Business Review) Widespread now in business world Short-term missions application David Livermore’s Serving with Eyes Wide Open (2006)

Culture Quotient Cognitive (the “head”) Physical (the “body”) Emotional/Motivational (the “heart”)

Viewing culture as successively deeper levels of understanding Viewing culture as successively deeper levels of understanding -- diagram by Lloyd Kwast

with credit to Marc Siemens and Gary Weaver Iceberg: analogy for culture with credit to Marc Siemens and Gary Weaver

Bob Sjogren, Bill and Amy Stearns

CQ Components Knowledge Interpretation Behavior Perseverance

Getting people to actively process all four areas Case studies Someone from there Someone who’s been there Emphasizing relationships “with” not “for”

Knowledge An understanding that culture can be seen as the “software” that runs our minds Some key issues High context versus low context Time orientation (event time vs clock time) Individualism / corporateness Power distance Uncertainty avoidance

Interpretation Turning off cruise control Holistic observation

Behavior How do we move to seeing this as an outcome rather than a starting point?

Perseverance Level of interest, drive and motivation to adapt cross-culturally
