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.
