SIETAR survey: perceived contributions of the social sciences to intercultural communication

Abstract This paper presents the results of a survey of SIETAR members assessing their opinions on the value of contributions from various social science disciplines to intercultural communication. Anthropology received the highest ratings overall, with psychology chosen most frequently as the field from which more intercultural work is desired. Among intercultural communication scholars, an anthropologist stands out as most widely read with the greatest acknowledged influence on SIETAR members.
