Summary

Professor Harry Triandis has contributed to the development of the field of cross-cultural training by developing constructs like isomorphic attribution (Triandis, 1975), methods like culture specific simulators (Fiedler, Triandis, & Mitchell, 1971), theoretical frameworks for developing and evaluating culture simulators (Triandis, 1977, 1984), and applications of individualism and collectivism to cross-cultural training (Triandis, Brislin, & Hui, 1988). This paper examines his contributions by evaluating, both quantitatively and qualitatively, how his work has influenced the field of cross-cultural training and the work of other researchers in this field of study.
