It's almost refreshing to read an essay in which the thesis being tested is found to be unconfirmed by the evidence. But this is what happens in this essay. The proposal that cultural differences translate into usability differences is put to the test. For the most part, the author finds no significant correlation, the sole exception being a mapping from the degree of collectivism exhibited by the culture. This isn't the easiest paper to read - I found myself reviewing quite a bit - but is recommended for anyone looking at cross cultural issues in learning. PDF format.
