Question

When I took the PRCA my scores were much high than the other two tests and I know that this test is essentially showing what my communication apprehension is like and I think that the reason that this test is much lower scored than all the others is because im just not really a communicative person. I do tend to find it at times hard to work with people and many times I would just much rather be tasked with doing something myself so I can get it done my way and I feel like that is just much more of an effective way for me to work on something. And knowing that I am already this way with people that are from a similar background with me then I am more inclined to not work well with people who are more different than that. I'm not unable to work with people I just prefer to work alone. And I had once worked with someone from a different cultural background and It just wasn't for me because I couldn't really understand them through their accent very well and it would frustrate me because when it was busy I couldn't understand what they wanted from me because I couldn't decipher the message. I feel that people may be afraid of communicating with others outside their culture is because they have a sterotype based on them that they wont be able to understand them and that they will have much different working habits that wont work well with their own. And that may not true I have worked with people from different cultural backgrounds and it went just fine, I really just think that it depends on the person and the job that is being done in order for it to really workout well. I feel what I said relates to the three componets very well, because depending on the person it is what jsut has to work well with them. They have to be able to deal with verbal and non verbal communication from them and they also have to be prepared for circumstances that are unpredicatble and be to deal with it and make the situation work with the other person. And on top of all that they have to have s sense of cultural awareness where they know what is acceptable to be said in the workplace around people of another background and what is not acceptable.
