Description

Introduction Intercultural communication takes place between different cultural members. Identity negotiation constitutes one of the basic dimensions of intercultural communication process and significantly shapes its result. Whether people can achieve mutual understanding and establish reciprocal intercultural relationship is largely determined by their identity-orientation. The notion that identity is given, fixed and non-contextual has long been rejected; while the idea that identity is negotiated, constructed and constantly recreated has been generally accepted (Hegde, 1998). The proliferation of identity negotiation research in the past decade (e.g., Collier, 2000; Diggs & Clark, 2002; Fisher, 1998; Hecht, 1998; Imahori & Cupach, 2005; Moss & Faux, 2006; Ting-Toomey, 1999; 2005) not only highlights the importance of the issue in intercultural communication, but also lays a solid foundation for further studies.
