Part II of the Thai Culture Assimilator deals primarily with various interpersonal conflicts between Americans and Thais. Many of these conflicts were due to differences between the two cultures. The episodes contained in this volume illustrate various patterns of Thai interpersonal habits and relationships which are basically different from those of Americans, thus creating conflicts and misunderstandings between them. The first few episodes attempt to show that Thais, in general, do not distinguish between evaluation of their work and of themselves, Role (or Position) and the Individual who occupies that role, and Business acquaintances and Friends.

The Thai social structure is based upon the rationale of a close parallel between the society and the family at large. The relationships 'natural' to the family are viewed as prototypes for the vastly more extended relationships of the society. Thus, the emphasis upon power based upon age and position which we have seen to be characteristic of the family is equally characteristic of the whole society. Society in the Thai eyes consists of a large number of small social units, such as the family, the village, the guild, etc. Each unit consists in turn of individuals varying greatly in their intellectual and physical capabilities due to different Boonvasana (merits done in the previous life). Because of these inequalities which are taken for granted, it is inevitable that class differences should exist to a certain degree. The social order, in other words, is a rationalization of existing human inequalities. The social structure is now in the process of change as a result of modernization and pressures which are characteristic of technological development and social change. (Author).

American military and civilian advisors in Thailand and Greece were given culture training in the form of either the Thai or Greek Culture Assimilator. These groups were compared to similar groups of men who received a series of essays (Thailand) or no training at all (Greece). Background information as well as information on the subject's impression of his performance and adjustment in the foreign country was collected. The questions on this latter questionnaire constituted the main dependent measure. Assimilator-trained individuals felt that they were generally more productive and had somewhat better interpersonal relations with the Thais than did essay-trained subjects. The Assimilator was also seen as somewhat more interesting and helpful than was the essay. These results were replicated for Assimilator-trained subjects in Greece when their ratings were compared to subjects who received no training. These results were taken as an indication that the Culture Assimilator could serve a valuable function as a culture training device for Americans stationed abroad. (Author).

The first of the Asian Science Series, this book explores the question: Who are the Chinese in Thailand? Are they "assimilated Thais" or are they "Chinese" living in Thailand? Does their being "in" Thailand make them "of" Thailand? Through a collection of authoritative essays, this book explores how the Chinese of Thailand constantly alternate their positions within the fabric of the Thai society. For those seeking the composite image of what it means to be a Chinese, this book holds up many intriguing mirrors. This is a co-publication with Times Academic Press

Thais and U.S. citizens have a number of striking cultural similarities. Both prize the freedoms they enjoy, both are quite pragmatic and individualistic, and both disdain pomposity and arrogance. These traits form a kind of common core that helps Thais and U.S. citizens connect in cross-cultural interactions. Nevertheless, there are also fundamental differences that must be bridged if mutually satisfactory relationships are to be established. This book examines the commonalities and explores the differences in depth. For instance, Thais have a very high regard for authority and status and live in an extremely hierarchical society; far different from the more fluid social milieu in the United States, where authority is easily questioned and status is gained by achievement. Thais withhold emotional expression; avoid confrontation; pursue friendships of a more permanent nature than people in the United States; are much less competitive; and have strong face-saving needs. As for individualism, the Thai, like the U.S. citizen, tends to value self-reliance, but Thai individualism exists within an ethos of group harmony in which the kind of aggressive self-assertion that characterizes U.S. individualism would not be accepted. These and other critical issues are explored, and the book closes with a discussion of the implications of these issues for individuals from the two cultures when they are engaged in face-to-face encounters. Of special interest to students of cross-cultural management is the careful analysis of the contrast in the structure and functioning of organizations in the two countries. (Author/JB)

examines Thai-Chinese relations, dating back to the first Thai dynasty (Sukhothai) to the present (Ratanakosin). The study explores the Thai domestic policies that have affected the Chinese population since World War II and assimilation policies of the Thai government towards the Chinese. This book also analyzes both Skinner's and Chan and Tong's arguments, and their main idea in the context of the present day environment and situation for the ethnic Chinese. This research supports the Skinnerian paradigm, which asserts that "a majority of the descendants of Chinese immigrants in each generation merge with Thai society and become indistinguishable from the indigenous population to the extent that fourth-generation Chinese are practically non-existent." The validation of the Skinnerian paradigm rejects Chan and Tong's hypothesis, which claims that Skinner has "overemphasized the forces of assimilation" and that the Chinese in Thailand have not assimilated but retained their Chinese identity. To support Skinner's assertion and reject Chan and Tong's argument, this book presents rich empirical data collected via surveys conducted with the ethnic Chinese in Thailand from 2003-2004. This study uncovers that the forces of assimilation occur at two levels. On the first level, the Chinese in Thailand possess natural attributes which facilitate social and cultural integration and assimilation into Thai society. On the second level, government pro-assimilation policies, driven by the bilateral relations between Thailand and China and the political situation in both countries, are also responsible for the assimilation of the Chinese in Thailand. As the most current in-depth study on the Chinese in Thailand, The Chinese Émigrés of Thailand in the Twentieth Century is a critical addition for all collections in Asian Studies as well as Ethnic and Immigrant Studies.
