摘要：

A quasi-experiment involving a Japan area studies training program was used to explore a conceptual model of the effects of area studies training programs on factors related to cultural adjustment. Training increased subjects' factual, conceptual and attributional knowledge. Associations were also found between knowledge changes and attitudinal change. The results suggest such programs may be a useful mechanism for building cultural awareness, but have limited effect on attitudes, behavioral intentions or perceptions of self-efficacy in the target culture.
