Priority-Pointing Procedure and Its Application to an Intercultural Trust Project

摘要

In the Western cultural background,the PriorityPointing Procedure (PPP),which is a qualitative research-based diagnostic procedure,has been proven to be able to point to a priority for action by measuring imbalances in the context of Nomology. As the starting point to prove its feasibility in the environment of the Eastern cultural background,we applied PPP to the research process of an Intercultural Trust Project,which was performed in Dublin,Ireland.In this paper we present the application of PPP in the environment of a mixed cultural background.We find that PPP is useful for defining variables and identifying imbalances.
