N2 - Do the listening styles preferred by young adults in Germany, Israel, and the USA differ significantly? In order to address this question, college students in all three countries completed versions of the Listening Styles Profile (LSP; Watson et al. 1995) presented in their native languages. Factor analysis revealed four predominant constructs underlying the LSP, which were designated as people, action, content, and time listening styles. Comparisons between the three cultures revealed distinctively different patterns of listening style preferences, with Germans preferring the action style, Israelis endorsing the content style, and Americans favoring both the people and time styles.
