Tapescript
Prenter: Good morning and welcome to ‘Culture Matters’. Today we’re looking at different styles of communication in different cultures. We have Dr Jan Groot, from Utrecht University in Holland in the studio.
Expert: Good morning.
Prenter: Can you tell us what the main differences are in the way people around the world communicate?
Expert: Well, one of the main differences is between cultures that express their emotions, which are called ‘affective’ cultures, and others which generally try not to show their feelings, or ‘neutral’ cultures. People from ‘affective’ cultures generally show how they feel quite openly: when they are happy, or when they are angry. ‘Neutral’ cultures avoid showing emotion, especially in more formal situations, such as at school or university or at work. People from neutral cultures are more rerved.
Prenter: Which cultures, then, are ‘affective’ or open, and which are ‘neutral’ or more rerved?
Expert: Mm, people from Latin cultures tend to show feelings more: for example the Italians. When asked if they would show that they were angry in more formal situations, 71% of Italians said they would show this openly.
Prenter: And what about ‘neutral’ cultures?
Expert: Other cultures, oriental and northern European cultures, do not show emotions as much, they are more rerved. For example, only 17% of the Japane would show anger openly in more formal situations. And only 29% of the British would show they were angry.
Prenter: I e.
Expert: Curiously enough, the Americans are more like the Italians -- over 60% would express anger openly in a work or formal situation. Culturally, Americans are in between ‘neutral’ and ‘affective’ cultures -- in some ways they are more open and in other ways they are more rerved.

Tapescript
Prenter: What differences are there in the way people actually express themlves -- using gestures and that sort of thing?
Expert:年末结转 Well, people from ‘affective’ cultures, like the Italians, tend to u a lot more gestures, you know, using not only their hands but their arms. For people in more neutral cultures, like the Japane, Northern Europeans and even Americans, this could appear ‘excitable’. They don’t u gestures as much.

Prenter: Mm, yes.
Expert: Also, people from ‘affective’ cultures usually look more directly at the person they
be mylf
are speaking to. The British or Americans often look at people to start with and then they look away. People from oriental cultures like Japan, never look directly at the other person - to look at someone very directly is extremely rude.
Prenter: And what about speaking?
Expert: Right, well people from ‘affective’ cultures are more likely to interrupt or speak at the same time as the other person. In neutral countries, there is usually less interruption, one person starts speaking when the other has stopped. In a place like Japan, people never interrupt each other. They also wait for a while before speaking, so there is more silence.
Prenter: Finally, what about politeness. What differences are there?
