Communication styles used by Asian/Pacific Americans

From my understanding, communication between Peace Officers and Asian/Pacific American people can easily be miscontrude depending on the dialect between the two. Asian/Pacific American people tend to hold onto their background, and how they were raised which means that the vast of their dialect comes from the environment or morals in which they were brought up in. They tend to group together situations that are meant for individualism back to their family or group, this makes it difficult to understand that it may have only been that single individual involved. Words that may be used to separate one from a group such as “I”, “Me”, and “Myself” may not be used to illustrate ownership for them to whomever they are speaking to; however, the words “Us”, “We”, “Our” may mean just the same to them depending on the situation.
Face to Face communication
Unlike most American people, Asian/Pacific Americans are not very well with direct eye contact, it can be taken as a sign of disrespect, or intimidation easily creating miscommunication and or anger. Eye contact should not last for more than a couple of seconds, as other American may prefer direct eye contact to show truth in the situation of which one is stating (Elliot, 1999).

Some Asian/Pacific American people use hand gestures when speaking, to some it can be taken out of context as rude or aggressive but again it is how they are raised, learned behavior. Growing up as a kid when I spoke I always used my hands to reiterate what I was saying but I learned shortly that to some it may be considered rude; however for them it is completely opposite. Lily Qi stated in an article that a similar situation happened to her while using hand gestures to speak with a person from a different culture, she stated that the gestures were taken as miscommunication
