This paper analyzes the negative influence that cultural friction areas can promote on intercultural contacts. First, we expose the critical incident method like cross-cultural training model (Arthur, 2001). Then we show the negative effects that sensitive cultural zones can exert on the formation of prejudices and stereotypes about culturally diverse groups, analyzing 77 critical incidents collected in two different formative contexts. The main cultural shock areas detected are a) intercultural communication barriers, b) gender roles, and c) the cultural expressions statement. Strategies to improve the method validity are proposed.

El objetivo del estudio fue establecer las propiedades psicométricas para Colombia de la Escala de Prejuicios Sutiles y Manifiestos elaborada por Pettigrew y Meertens (1995) y adaptada al español por Rueda y Navas (1996), tomando como población objetivo los inmigrantes venezolanos que han llegado a Colombia. La muestra fue de 1078 colombianos residentes en Barranquilla (Atlántico) seleccionados intencionalmente, con edades entre 18 y 78 años (M = 34.6 y DE = 13.4). Un 49% (n=523) eran hombres. Los resultados indican una consistencia interna para la escala global de α =.84 y ω = .85. La subescala de Prejuicio Sutil muestra una consistencia interna de α = .74 y ω = .75, y la de Prejuicio Manifiesto de α = .78 y ω = .80. Con el Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio se ratifica la estructura factorial, pero se cambia el ítem 17 de factor y...

The main objective of this study was to establish the psychometric properties for Colombia of the Subtle and Blatant Prejudice Scale of Pettigrew and Meertens (1995) which was adapted to Spanish by Rueda and Navas (1996). Venezuelan immigrants in Colombia are the target population. The sample comprised 1078 Barranquilla residents (Atlantic) who were selected intentionally, with an age range between 18 and 78 years old (M = 34.6 and SD= 13.4), of whom 49 % (n=523) were male. Outcomes show a Cronbach’s alpha (α) of .84 and an Omega (ω) of .85 for the global scale. The Subtle Prejudice subscale displays α = .74 and ω = .75, while the Blatant Prejudice subscale demonstrates α = .78 and ω = .80. Confirmatory Factor Analysis confirms the underlying factorial structure, but item 17 changes factor and item 7 is eliminated, leaving a total of 1...
