Video has been shown important for people who do not share common ground. To test whether
video matters for people from contextual cultures more than it does for an explicit culture like the
US, we compared pairs of Americans with pairs of Chinese, each speaking their native language.
Half the pairs from each country communicated over audio-only and half over audio plus video.
We found that performance was the same across pairs from different countries, but that a more
subtle measure, their trust in each other, was lower for Chinese overall, and especially lower for
Chinese communicating over audio only.

Smirnova-Alexandrova, Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Psychology, Russian
Federation
The purpose of this study was to examine the concept of intelligence among Russians.
Characteristics of an intelligent person were rated by sample of adults (N=99) and pupils (N=233).
It was found that an intelligence person was most frequently thought to be male rather than female.
It was showed that the concept about intelligence is formed to 16 years. The factor structure found
in Russian subjects which showed the predominant factor of social-ethical was similar to Japanese
(Azuma & Kashiwagi, 1987) and differed from that for Americans and Finnish, which showed the
predominant of cognitive factor.
4028.33 Cross-cultural approach of free drawing as a tool for preictif success in the scholastic
learning, Ghazi Chakroun, Letters and Humans Sciences - Sfax, Tunisia
12 transcultural cognitive levels stemmed from the analysis of twenty thousands free drawings
from 2 to 6 years old French and Tunisian match some of the historical steps in the evolution of
human communication. Indeed it will be legitimate to refer to these characteristics in the evolution
and ontogeny of communication for addressing suggestions about educational activities. Logical,
spatial and temporal organisation of graphic elements in free drawings of 42 Tunisian and 40
French aged 5 to 6, predict and influence their success in the learning of mathematics, reading and
writing, later on between 6 and 7 years of age.
4028.34 A relational study between the Bai Ma Zang Zu’s junior middle school students’
acculturation and intelligence level, Xingwang Hu, Hong Li, Southwest China Normal University,
China
This study examined relationship between acculturation and intelligence of 237 Bai Ma Zang Zu's
junior middle school students. The result revealed that the three dimensions of acculturation
including main-culture recognition, school education recognition and the degree of knowing the
Sinitic language, are closely related to intelligence and achievements. After eliminating the
influence of achievements on intelligence by Level Regression Analysis, it shows clearly that
acculturation has a very obvious predictability on intelligence. This result is helpful to
understanding the intelligence, and can also provide theoretical foundation for the minority
education.
