levels in locations and at times normally dedicated to restoration. To further explore the
constrained restoration phenomenon, in this paper we review research on reactions to
human-produced sounds in natural settings, like parks, which many people particularly value for
restoration. We also consider ambient sound qualities that promote restoration.
1025.5 Stress, restoration, and work-home interference, G. Johansson, Stockholm University,
Stockholm, Sweden
In the study of work-related stress, the interface between the work and non-work domains has
attracted growing attention, especially in relation to employees who perform their work at the
workplace and in the home, as well as in other locations. The empirical material of this study was
obtained from questionnaire surveys to teleworking civil servants and ICT consultants. The
questionnaires included scales of work-to-home and home-to-work interference as well as a scale
of effective restoration. Multiple regression analyses indicated that work-to home interference but
not home-to-work interference predicted poor restoration.

Exiting acculturation theories fail to define culture and pit two cultures in a linear pole or
two-dimensional space. They equate cultures with products of cultures and fail to take incorporate
epistemiological, phenomenological, and creative aspects of culture. Existing theories fail to
consider personal, proxy, and collective agency and view acculturation as a positivitic phenomena
(i.e., as a substractive or additive forms). Existing measures fail to capture the dynamics and
complexity of the acculturation process. Leading researchers are outsiders developing artifical
theories and methods. Acculturation involves negotiation, skill development and transformations
that results in new cultural realties. Acculturation involves transformation of individual lives,
interpersonal relationships, and communities.
1026.2 ‘Culture free’ and culture bound approaches to acculturation: Berry’s model vs culture
learning, P. Boski, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland
Berry’s acculturation model is an extension of Tajfel's social identity theory to two ingroups. It
seems acultural because the construction of research instruments and answering to them do not
require cultural competence by either authors or respondents. In contrast, the culture learning
approach stems from studies of cultural assimilators and from practicioners of culture
communication (eg, Landis et al. 2003). Cultural competence is acquired and ethnocentrism
diminished by studying and interpreting critical incidents in which people from different cultures
unwillingly and unintentionally collide in their interactions. These two approaches have been
developing in splendid isolation. Research findings will serve to illustrate theoretical arguments.
