4048.3 A new approach to studying collective orientation in team contexts, Seyyed Babak
Alavi, John McCormick, University of New South Wales, Australia
We have proposed a new conceptual framework of collective orientation in team contexts with
regard to vertical and horizontal dimensions of individualism and collectivism at the individual
level. It has been argued that people may activate these schemas differently for different team
contexts. An empirical study of 639 students engaged in 165 academic groups confirmed the
conceptualization by identifying four interpretable factors: vertical and horizontal idiocentrism
and allocentrism. This new framework may have significant implications for some aspects of team
and group studies such as collective cognition processes and team effectiveness.
4048.4 Order conception of organizational culture, Ludmila Aksenovskaya, Russian
Federation
The offered approach interprets the organizational culture as the complex of
socially-psychological order. The socially-psychological order is determined as the state of the
comprehensibility and controllability of the whole complex of organizational interactions. We
single out three main organization cultural orders (family, army, church) and two additional types
of order the synergetic one (which is characteristic for the initial stage of the culture organization
development) and the synthetic one (which is characteristic for the high level of the development
of the organizational culture).

China
This study exployed 285 Tibetan undergraduates to examine the types of ethnic identity and it’s
affected factors of Tibetan undergraduates. The result showed that: 1) Tibetan undergraduates’
ethnic identity mainly involved three aspects: negative ethnic identity, positive ethnic identity and
mainstream culture identity; 2) Different aspects of ethnic identity were affected by different
factors. But generally speaking, Tibetan undergraduates’ ethnic identity might be predicted by the
number of Han nationality friends, by the time of learning Chinese, by parents’ nationality identity
and the reception of Han nationality; 3) There existed significant relationships between other
dimensions of ethnic identity and other dimensions of acculturation.
4049.2 A study of adaptation processes among the Chinese students in Russia, Tatiana
Stefanenko, Irina Antonova, Moscow State (Lomonosov) University, Department of Psychology,
Russian Federation
The research showed, that Chinese students experience a low level of adaptivity to Russian culture,
despite the varying duration of their stay in the country. But several negative changes may be
noticed in such aspects as depressive attitude and situational functional conditions which are the
