The 10 verbatim records gained from the interviews were analyzed by two
doctoral researchers and 181 significant statements or sentences were
deducted. The statements or sentences were grouped into 21
subcategories, which were then grouped again into 8 categories. As can
be seen in Table 2, cultural differences stem from identity,
communication, and social characteristics. The conflict experiences
appeared in daily life and work. Also, coping types appeared in the
three types Adoptive, Passive, and Avoiding. Based on these results,
this section will present cultural differences and experienced conflicts
resulting from such differences and then it will describe the
differences among the three coping types.
