The purpose of this cross-cultural study was to compare learning style and personality type profiles of hospitality undergraduate students in Taiwan and the United States (U.S.). Four hundred and ninety-seven (497) Taiwanese hospitality students from 2 general universities in May 2002 and 294 American hospitality students from a southwest university in the fall semester of 2002 completed a questionnaire that included demographic information, Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (LSI), and Personal Style Inventory (PSI). Frequencies were tabulated to report the distribution of personality types and learning styles of participants in Taiwan and the U.S. in relation to the demographic information. Results showed that the learning styles of the participants from these two countries showed slight differences with the Taiwanese participants having more assimilators (42.7% vs. 32.3%; z = 9.44, p < .000) and fewer accommodators (5.6% vs. 15.3%; z = -2.81, p < .005) than their U.S. counterparts. |
