An abstract of the thesis of Linda Sue Warnock for the Master of Science in Speech Communication presented May 19, 1994. Title: Changing Values: A Study of the Shift in Cultural Values and Perceptions of U.S. High School Students Following Orientation and Exposure to Russian Culture. When cultural values differ, it is difficult for people not to judge one another's behavior on the basis of their own individual and/or cultural values. Given the profound differences in Russian and American culture, the question of what happens when these two cultures interact comes to mind. The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship of culture specific orientation, coupled with a two week sojourn in Russia on the sojourners' perceptions of cultural values. The sojourners were high school athletes participating in the first part of a Russian American Track and Field Exchange. In order to ascertain the students' value orientations, each student completed six Value Orientation Worksheets. Before the pre-departure orientation the students' completed two worksheets composed of fifteen questions, one according to their own cultural values, and one for their perception of Russian cultural values. The students completed two additional worksheets after the pre-departure orientation sessions, and two worksheets ten months after the sojourn. Analysis of the post-orientation worksheets suggests that the orientation sessions had a greater impact on the students' reported perceptions of their own cultural values than in changing their reported perceptions of Russian values. Unlike the post-orientation responses, an analysis of post-sojourn responses indicated that the sojourn experience appears to have had a comparable affect on the students' reported perceptions of their own cultural values and their reported perceptions of Russian cultural values. Post-sojourn worksheets revealed that agreement among the students after the shared orientation sessions was not a reliable predictor of agreement after the sojourn. In many cases, the individuality of the sojourn experience appears to have overcome the shared informational orientation training. Continued research in this field is needed to determine whether or not the tendencies uncovered in this study can be generalized to include a wider population, specifically American high school student/athletes traveling abroad for a short term sojourn.

To Kimberly who graduated from high school and went on to college, supporting and encouraging Mom from Texas; to Kristin for her hugs and understanding when I was discouraged; to Kelli whose journey through much of grade school and junior high paralleled Mom's trek through graduate school. Thank you my chickadees for your years of understanding and patience when Mom was in class or at the computer. And finally, to my life partner Ed without whose support this endeavor would not have been possible. For the technical support, for the 'permission' to close the office door and ignore the business, but most of all, for the underlying belief in me and my ability to "go the distance."
