Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Mike Myatt, leadership advisor to Fortune 500 CEOs and a Forbes columnist, wrote: “It is simply impossible to become a great leader without being a great communicator.” So what does it mean to be a great communicator? What specific communication competences are leaders expected to have and how do they relate to culture? Are the needs and demands universal or culture specific? The communication competence tradition has been around for decades and a lot of focus has been directed towards intercultural competence, but very few have studied communication competence among leaders. The purpose of such investigation is to find out which communication competences a leader is expected to have based on a multicultural group of participants. To achieve the aim of the study a questionnaire was used and distributed to 301 participants from a variety of cultures. On the questionnaire the participants were asked to assess 29 statements on a Likert-scale (1-7) about leader communication competence and agree (1) or disagree (7). The data was analyzed statistically with t-tests. In the analysis the participants were grouped based on cultural similarity (e.g. participants from high context cultures together) and compared with other groups. The top five ranked competences in general are: 1.Clear oral communication 2. Clear instructions 3. Effectiveness 4. Appropriateness 5. Listening (being an attentive, mindful listener that gives feedback) There are no significant differences between cultural groups when it comes to clear oral communication or effectiveness. These are truly the main communication competences that leaders around the world are expected to have. The importance of clear instructions, appropriateness, listening and several other competences differ when comparing some cultural groups. The outcome and meaning of this result, particularly what clarity and effectiveness mean from a cultural point of view, can be discussed.

- Abstract: The purpose of the study is to find support for the integrated communication systems hypothesis. To find support for this hypothesis a specific group of participants were selected: bicultural and bilingual individuals that were tested in four different conditions. A new and highly reliable motion capture system together with special software was used to measure gesture velocity. Two working hypothesis were formulated. The secondary hypothesis was verified: the bicultural and bilingual participants change their gestural pattern depending on what language they speak. We call this a kinesic code-switching. The tendency is somewhat stronger in the face-to-face condition compared to the audio only condition. The primary hypothesis was supported in competition with alternative hypotheses: the only hypothesis that can fit all the results in this study, all four test conditions, is the integrated systems hypothesis. The participants most likely use two intertwined communication systems when they communicate in an interpersonal situation.

Lärande och lärandeteorier - Om den intentionella människan
- 2016
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Mänskligt lärande är ett komplext fenomen. Det påverkas av såväl mentala/individrelaterade faktorer som interaktiva/sociala faktorer. Den här boken försöker integrera dessa olika perspektiv på lärande som annars brukar ställas emot varandra. Det är berättelsen om människan som en social och kognitiv varelse. I boken drivs tesen om den intentionella lärande människan. Lärande och lärandeteorier presenterar lärandeteorier från olika perspektiv och historiska perioder. Några viktiga kärnbegrepp i boken är: intentioner, social kognition, motivation, minne och kunskap, kommunikation, återkoppling, grupper och organisationer samt kulturella faktorer. Men den diskuterar även mindre vanliga teman såsom transfer, kreativitet, personlighetsdrag, tillit, nätverk och kunskapsdelande.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The use of the personality trait five-factor model in communication research is very limited so far. In the present study the focus is on nonverbal correlations to personality traits. It was possible to identify nonverbal patterns in relation to personality traits. The extraversion dimension is associated with both a contact dimension (extraverts stand closer, engage in mutual gaze) and an expressiveness dimension (extraverts prefer face-to-face interaction, a varied tone of voice, varied gestures and facial expressions). The openness dimension is associated with low context (verbal, direct and explicit communication relying on context to a low degree). The agreeableness dimension is associated with high context (indirect, implicit and nonverbal communication style relying strongly on context).
