It examines how cultural differences can affect communication styles, understandings, and outcomes in various contexts such as business, education, healthcare, and international relations. Researchers in this area explore topics such as language barriers, nonverbal communication, intercultural conflict, cultural norms, and stereotypes. The goal of cross-cultural communication research is to improve understanding, interaction, and collaboration among individuals and groups from diverse cultural backgrounds.
